Still Hurting
The Last 5 Years
Off-Broadway week continues with this little gem. The musical uses a bare-bones cast with a small musical force to great effect and with incredible storytelling. The idea of the show is that it tells the story of the two main characters (Cathy and Jamie) in which Cathy's story is told in reverse chronological order (starting the show at the end of their marriage), and Jamie's is told in chronological order (starting just after the couple have first met). The characters only interact at a wedding song in the middle of the show.
This is the opening song - Cathy's resignation at the very end of the tumultuous relationship. I find it to be a lovely song, well-scored and painfully sweet.
Happy listening!
