One week. Two Stars. A Love Story Told In Two Directions.

This story of a relationship, told from both sides with a unique and compelling twist, will star Ben Platt and Rachel Zegler

The West End has welcomed a fresh take on Jason Robert Brown's seminal musical, The Last Five Years, as the musical makes its West End debut featuring the superstar pairing of Tony Award-winner Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen) and Golden Globe-winner Rachel Zegler (West Side Story) for this extra-special concert run performance of Jason Robert Brown's The Last Five Years at The London Palladium from 24 to 29 March 2026. A true-to-life two-hander, conducted and directed by the show's original writer, Jason Robert Brown.

What Is The Story?

Named one of Time magazine's top shows of 2001 and featured in its movie form at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival, The Last Five Years is the love story of two young New York residents, Cathy and Jamie. The musical brings audiences on a roller coaster ride of emotions as the couple fall in and out of love with one another over the course of five years. 

As Cathy recounts her journey of love in reverse chronological order, Jamie starts at the beginning of their relationship, shortly after their first encounter. Despite both telling the story of their love, the pair meet and interact only once with each other in the show.
