Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren are about to emotionally wreck us (with jazz hands!) in The Last Five Years, now in previews and strutting its dramatic stuff on Broadway like it owns the Hudson Theatre.
📸 New production pics just dropped, and spoiler alert: both stars look like they’re either about to get married or emotionally combust. Honestly, it’s giving wedding vibes meets existential dread, and we’re here for it.
This new production has exactly two (2!) cast members—Nick and Adrienne—plus their understudies, who are probably off somewhere preparing emotionally charged ballads and eating protein bars.
The official opening night is THIS SUNDAY (April 6), so if you want to be there to sob in unison with a crowd of strangers, now’s your chance.
Now, if you’re wondering, “Wait, hasn’t this show been around forever?” YES, you theatre sleuth, it has! The Last Five Years is a 24-year-old musical finally making its Broadway debut like a dramatic teenager coming back from study abroad with emotional depth and a beret.
Let’s break down the plot (don’t worry, we’ll use emojis):
💍 Jamie and Cathy fall in love.
💔 Then they fall out of love.
⏳ But here’s the twist: Cathy tells the story backwards, Jamie tells it forwards, and your heart tells you to emotionally prepare.
They only meet in the middle, like a sad, musical rom-com where time itself is like, “I’m gonna spice this up.”
This limited-run engagement is just 14 weeks long, because apparently even heartbreak has a time limit. 🕰️
🎟️ Wanna go? You can snag tickets online or on TodayTix, where the prices are reasonable and the tears are included at no extra charge.
Or, if you like to live dangerously, grab $49 tickets in person at the Hudson Theatre the day of the show (a.k.a. theatre lotto Olympics). There’s also a digital rush starting at 9am on the TodayTix app—so set those alarms and get ready to click faster than your ex ghosted you.
After Nick finishes unpacking five years of musical emotional baggage, he’s hopping back into Jonas Brothers mode for their 20th anniversary tour, where the only heartbreak will be when they don’t play “Year 3000.”
So yeah, TL;DR: It’s Nick Jonas in a musical about love, loss, and clever timeline trickery. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you might leave the theater wanting to write a breakup song. 🎶💔
