A contemporary song-cycle musical that ingeniously chronicles the five year life of a marriage, from meeting to break-up... or from break-up to meeting, depending on how you look at it. Written by Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Songs For A New World), The Last Five Years is an intensely personal look at the relationship between a writer and an actress told from both points of view.

The show is presented in “forward time” as we follow the story of their relationship from Jamie’s perspective, starting with their first meeting and following through with their wedding and ultimate breakup. At the same time, Cathy relates the story in “reverse” - starting with their breakup and moving backwards in time until their first meeting at the end of the show. Made up mostly of solo turns, with beautiful music and alternately humorous and heartfelt lyrics, it is only in the middle of the show that Jamie and Cathy come together as Jamie proposes and the two are wed.

Musicals about relationships are nothing new, but The Last Five Years manages to reinvent the familiar formula and offers up one of the brightest, freshest scores of the new century."

Sagebrush Valentine
at The Zipper Factory

What began as a game played religiously in living rooms by Maddy Wyatt, Chris Miller, and Nathan Tysen has become a gift they want to give to you. SAGEBRUSH VALENTINE plays like this: Six brave songwriters get together and pick a song title out of a hatful of audience-generated suggestions. They take a breath and/or a shot, and go off for one hour (!) to write that song. A few days later, the results are presented live-on-stage, along with a peek into the cannon of each talented artist. Come to the Zipper to hear six new songs by six great songwriters, all variations on a theme chosen by you! The brave and hot new artists joining Maddy, Nathan, and Chris on November 11th are Vienna Teng, Eli Bolin, and Jason Reischel!
