THE LAST FIVE YEARS by Jason Robert Brown | August 14 - September 6, 2025
We round out the Summer with a contemporary classic, one of the most beloved musicals about a tumultuous heartbreak to ever have been written. Fresh off its first-ever Broadway Run, starring Adrienne Warren and Nick Jonas, Circle Theatre will be the first to bring The Last Five Years by Jason Robert Brown back to the area!
The Last Five Years captivates its audiences with its innovative storytelling and beloved score. A powerful piece that speaks to the universal experience of love and loss, this critically acclaimed musical delves into the five-year romance between Cathy and Jamie, two aspiring artists, through a unique narrative structure: Cathy’s story unfolds from the end of their relationship moving backward, while Jamie’s perspective moves forward from the start.
Memorable melodies soar throughout the piece, which leave audiences considering all that can go wrong when two people collide - and all that could have gone right, had they ever truly seen one another.

SEASON 2025 | IGNITE
“A World Premiere, Pulitzer Prize Winner, Tony Winner, Regional Premieres, Comedies, Tragedies, Contemporary and Classic pieces redefined—THREE musicals, a brand new secondary performance space, and a whole lot more!"
"Circle Theatre’s 44th Season is our biggest ever, and it has something for everyone. From the world premiere of Destroying David, which confronts grief through art’s collision with personal tragedy to the groundbreaking ferocity of A Strange Loop, a Pulitzer Prize-winning musical that redefines self and society — we are exploring both beautiful and difficult subjects. Fast forward all the way to the contemporary twist of Mac Beth, which reimagines Shakespeare through the lens of adolescence. These are only some of the productions in Circle’s 2025 Season, where we invite you to witness how art reflects and reshapes the human experience by sparking conversations, building communities, and igniting our minds.” —Ashley H. White, Artistic Director
