Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival's "The Last Five Years" soars in near-perfect production
Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival has staged a near-perfect production of Jason Robert Brown’s complex and challenging musical “The Last Five Years,” through June 30 in the Schubert Theatre at the Labuda Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of DeSales University, Center Valley.
All the parts came together skillfully for a thoroughly satisfying and outstanding evening of musical theater.
This two-person, almost completely sung-through show is very demanding for the two leads and Benjamin Lurye and Chani Werely were up to the task as couple Jamie and Cathy with soaring vocals and crisp, smart acting.
