The Last Five Years (Original Cast Recording)

A fresh and contemporary musical from Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown, THE LAST FIVE YEARS chronicles a young couple's romance in a new and exciting way: her story starts at the end of their relationship; his begins on the day they met. Funny and uplifting, the show captures some of the most heartbreaking and universally felt moments of modern romance. 

THE LAST FIVE YEARS was the very first cast album released by Sh-K-Boom Records and remains one of the label's best-selling albums of all time. It was named one of Time Magazine's 10 Best of 2001 and won Drama Desk Awards for Best Music and Best Lyrics, and features performances by original cast members Norbert Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott. Since its off-Broadway debut, the show has been produced at almost every major regional theater in the US, and has been seen in the U.K., Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Germany, Italy, Canada, and Spain.
