The Last Five Years
Strauss Theatre Center 1300 Lamy Lane, Monroe, Louisiana 71201
Monroe's Strauss Theatre Center, in partnership with Music Theatre International, presents the off-Broadway musical The Last Five Years, written and composed by Jason Robert Brown. The show follows a couple through the story of their ill-fated marriage from both directions: novelist Jamie sings the story from the beginning of the relationship, while actress Cathy's songs move back in time from their split. They intersect in the middle, at their wedding, for the show's only duet. Performances at 7 pm Thursday–Saturdays; 2 pm Sundays. $30. strausstc.com.
