Once upon a time in Philly, names like rockabilly cat Charlie Gracie, Cameo-Parkway Records and Wibbage DJ Hy Lit held some serious sway. And yes, nearly everyone wanted to cha-cha. And the righteous tastemakers deemed it to be a blistering good time.

Sean McLaughlin just doesn’t dig hanging out at McDonald’s. The movies are too expensive, and, really, how often can you hide from the cops while you sneak sips of alcohol in the woods?

OPEN AIR THEATRE PRESENTATION OF “THE LAST FIVE YEARS"
IS THE LITTLE MUSICAL THAT COULD!
Written by Tony-winner Jason Robert Brown, TL5Y (as it is known by its legions of fans) is a testatment to the power of the human heart in more ways than one. A musical love story spanning five years, the show examines the joys and heartaches of a contemporary couple who celebrate and grapple with a story as old as time. Their journey will resonate with everyone, reminding us that it truly is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
The unusual and creative structure of TL5Y is a musical breath of fresh air for theatre lovers. First, the same story is told simultaneously from two completely different points of view, his and hers. But then writer Brown adds an even more intriguing twist. The story unfolds at opposite ends of the spectrum of time. For the male character of Jamie, the story begins on the night of a first date, and moves forward in time. For the character of Cathy, the play begins with the breakup of her five -year relationship with Jamie, and moves progressively backwards to the night of that first date.
The Last Five Years is funny, insightful and heartbreaking - it weaves its spell with a six-piece string ensemble accompanying the show's ballads, comic novelty numbers and eloquent musical narrative. It opens June 15th and runs thru June 24, playing Thursday thru Saturday the first week, and Wednesday thru Saturday the second week. Showtime is 8pm; for ticket information call (609)737-1826 or visit www.njoat.com
