Nick Jonas were only 9 and depicting a teakup on Broadway when he first heard of a new music, which was in the city’s way.

Jonas recalled his days in “Beauty and the Beast”, saying, “All my adult artists were talking about how great the show was and how amazing music was.” “I went to the record store with my father and raised a copy of the cast recording and really fell in love with it.”

What he accepted was “The Last Five Years”, a two-person stage show in which he was like a creed, after which he is now leading on a broadway stage for the first time, capping a 24-year journey. It opens on Sunday.

Tony nominated director Whitney White says, “At a time where music is away from films, away from records or come from London, it is a great American piece by an American musician, writer, lyricist.” “This is one of our great American work.”

What is the show about

Jonas co-stars with Tony Award winner Edrien Warren saw a five-year marriage between the novelist Jamie and the budding actor Kathy with both points of watching the five-year marriage.

His music arc takes their relationship backwards, from their farewell kisses to their meeting five years ago. Jamie’s arch moves in the opposite direction, which begins with a song about her excitement in facing a woman of her dreams, leading the unhappiness of her marriage to move forward in time.

“I think everyone can be related to falling in love, meeting someone with something else,” says Warren. “There is marriage and there is a breakup and heart breaking. I think we have all experienced one of those things in our lifetime, if you are enough lucky.”

The show by composer and writer Jason Robert Brown started in Illinois in 2001 and then reached Off-Broadway the following year. It has become a head in regional cinemas and colleges and is made in a film starring Anna Kandrick and Jeremy Jordan.

“I think the great thing about writing is that it really asks you a lot of questions about yourself,” Jonas says. “And I am definitely looking at such arrivals because I am digging in this work.”

A wedding under stress

Jamie and Kathy’s marriage comes under stress when her career begins and does not have it, shows how imbalance can test a relationship. “I won’t fail so that you can be comfortable, Kathy. I won’t lose because you can’t win,” he tells him.

Brown says, “The way there is a young artist in this business, there was something about him, or to be a young artist in any business,” Brown says. “I think what this show is about, and I think young artists add it as much as they do.”

The White is a superfane of the show, when it premiered at the Northlight Theater outside Chicago. She wants to celebrate her intimacy and reality.

“We all know that one partner’s earning and other companions are struggling, okay? Capitalism comes to our bedroom and impresses our life and very unexpected ways,” she says.

Warren, who played the Tina Turner, learned about “The Last Five Years” while studying the musical theater at the Marimount Manhattan College.

“I always heard my fellow students singing in class, and so I became a fan of music from a distance,” she says. “I always thought it was an interesting piece. I never thought it was something that I could ever perform or be part of it.”

Flash-forward for his audition for Brown, first when he saw the score and sang music. “I sang two songs and he saw me and he was so,” I am doing this. This is. “

Side?

White, Jonas and Warren Each insisted that they do not want the audience to be side with one or the other partner. They want us to invest in the couple.

“I have been in the relationship, and I am a Kathy, so I cannot do any of them justice. I have been both in different times in my life,” says White.

“I love these two characters so equally that I am trying to love them on every beat in the story and not judge them. I feel very non-judicial about this picture of failure.”

To jump on a large platform – Hudson Theater has some 977 seats – Brown has given a big sound to the show and updated some references, transferring it to a modern day. In some presentations, two lovers interact only once, but this new has done a lot despite being in different deadlines.

Brown says looking at it on Broadway – Now a theater is starring a huge pop star next to the powerhouse – a little real, laughing that the bar has cocktails named after his doom lovers.

“I had never done ambition to be broadway music for this piece. It was always a small strange, intimate show.” He says. “I am very protective for my short shows. And at the same time, I will have to let it talk in the world.”
