'The Last 5 Years'  With book, music and lyrics by Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown, "The Last Five Years," tells the intimate tale of two ambitious New Yorkers — writer Jamie Wellerstein and struggling actress Cathy Hiatt — who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. The musical's unconventional structure allows Wellerstein to tell his story in chronological order while Hiatt's story is told in reverse. The two characters meet only once, at their wedding in the middle of the show. The show previews Thursday, Sept. 3, opens Friday, Sept. 4, and runs through Oct. 4 at Camelot Theatre, 101 Talent Ave., Talent. Tickets cost $29, $27 for students and seniors (except for Sunday matinees). Tickets and information are available at www.camelottheatre.org or 541-535-5250.  DailyTidings.com Writer Posted Aug. 27, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Comment or view comments Reader Reaction » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
