The show's unconventional structure consists of a narrative told from two opposing timelines: one character moving forward through time, the other moving backward. Through music and memory, the show explores love, ambition, and the emotional cost of chasing dreams. This piece invites audiences into the characters’ experiences and asks them to examine their own motivations, emotions, and interactions.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Widely regarded as a modern musical theatre classic, The Last 5 Years marks its 25th anniversary this year (2026), celebrated worldwide with revival concerts and special performances, including a high-profile London revival in March starring Rachel Zegler and Ben Platt. This Berlin production marks the first English-language staging of the show in the city, bringing the anniversary celebration to Berlin’s international theatre scene and inviting audiences to reflect on relationships, ambitions, and the ways timing can shape (or break) love.Dates:
