🎭 THE LAST FIVE YEARS IS COMING TO THE ARTS ASYLUM! 🎭

This October, Phoenix Arts is thrilled to present Jason Robert Brown’s The Last Five Years—a contemporary musical classic that has captivated audiences with its soaring music, intimate storytelling, and beautifully honest look at love, ambition, and the complicated ways we remember a relationship.

Told from two different perspectives, Cathy and Jamie’s five-year relationship unfolds in a unique, non-linear structure: Cathy tells their story from the end to the beginning, while Jamie tells it from beginning to end. As their timelines intersect, we watch two people fall in love, build a life together, and ultimately discover just how difficult it can be to make love last.

✨ October 16–24, 2026
