"The Last Five Years," a poignant musical dive into the intricacies of love and ambition, is coming to Shanghai. This show unravels the five-year romance between Jamie Wellerstein, an aspiring novelist, and Cathy Hiatt, a struggling actress. Its storytelling is a clever dance of time: Jamie's narrative moves forward, while Cathy's tale unwinds backward. Premiering in Chicago in 2001, this musical has been celebrated for its emotional depth and intimate portrayal of young New Yorkers navigating love's ups and downs. The original West End production from Garrick Theatre will be gracing Shanghai from November 29 to December 3. Tickets are a steal, ranging from 180rmb to 680rmb – a small price for a journey through love's complex timeline.
