The Last Five Years: October 18 & 19 Auditions
About the Show. The Last Five Years is an intimate and emotionally charged musical that traces the five-year relationship between Cathy and Jamie. Its unique storytelling structure is what makes the show so heartbreakingly beautiful: Cathy tells her story in reverse, starting at the end of the relationship, while Jamie recounts his chronologically, from the beginning. Although the musical covers their meeting, courtship, marriage and eventual breakup, the two characters share the stage together only once—at their wedding, in the middle of the show.
Important Info. Seeking exceptional performers for this two-person musical. All ethnicities, gender expressions and identities are encouraged to audition for these vocally and emotionally demanding roles. Familiarity with the score and non-linear structure is encouraged. The production will highlight intimacy between the two characters. All moments of physical or emotional intimacy will be approached with care, clear communication and mutual consent.
Audition Dates. Saturday, October 18 from 6:30 – 10 pm and Sunday, October 19 from 7 – 10 pm. If you are out of town/unavailable for auditions and callbacks but available for the production, you may submit a tape by submitting materials to productions@diamondheadtheatre.org.
