Ur a legend
Thank god this isn’t a bootleg of “The Last 5 Years”
Yeah this is the first 4 months. My favorite musical.
I was studying this musical for my final musical project in high school and I remember after listening to Shiksa Goddess looking at the comments someone wrote something along the lines of, "Their relationship was doomed from the start. The very first song that Jamie sings about Cathy, he sings about all the things she isn't instead of the things that she is like 'kind funny sweet' etc." Ever since reading that it really made me realise that if someone idolises the idea of you and who they could turn you into, not you and who you are the relationship really is doomed.
WOW I LOVE HER VOICE. Also someone said they always thought Cathy sang “Jamie has new dreams, he’s building a pond” and now I can’t unhear it lmao
the first time i heard the song i thought the words were "i'm still herding" and "jamie has new dreams, he's building a barn," and was like... okay... weird farming musical
@@dantesanidad2273 HAHAHAHHAHA omg
Well, Jamie DID have many dreams.
@@dantesanidad2273 finally we have a little bo peep musical
Wait me too! What even are the real lyrics? 😭
I love the little detail of Cathy flipping through the book during “I’m a Part of That” as if she’s trying to find herself in the dedications and confirm she is literally ‘a part of that’ and it seems she doesn’t find her name. I’ve always taken that song to be Cathy trying to convince herself that she’s a part of it despite feeling isolated and left behind in Jamie’s shadow and a lot of Cathys don’t really portray that angle I don’t think, so the detail with the book I think really added to the song and makes the meaning of it more literal as Cathy tries and fails to be a ‘part’ of the book/Jamie’s career. This was a fantastic production of this show!
honestly, this cast is so good and it's so refreshing to see a new take on Jamie
Agreed! I also really love this cathy. They set the standard high for future productions.
I'm a minute in and this is already the best staging I have seen for this show.
Update: that was the best version of this show i have ever seen
My heart breaks every time Cathy and Jamie sings the last "Do" of "I do" in The Next Time Minutes.. the only note they ever sing in unison **sobs** Forever loving the storytelling in this show
“I will not be the girl stuck at home in the burbs with the baby the dog and the garden of herbs” 👁👄👁 me watching this knowing my mom tried to be a broadway actress and when she failed she married my author dad and moved to the suburbs
Hopefully they lasted more than 5 years though!
Omg but how is she now? Is she ok? She can still be an actress or whatever she wants 😭
um.. are they on good terms? 😳
Are the living their lives in opposite directions too?
the musical was about the composer and his ex wife so you’re still good 👍
Margo’s portrayal of Cathy in this is so good omg 😩♥️
She has such an optimism that's so unique that I hadn't seen in other versions of this show. I think Margo brought some really interesting spunk that showed Cathy to be this bright and shining woman that just wants to be an actress. I think in this version she comes across as maybe less controlling (in the phone conversations between Cathy and Jamie) than she does in other versions. She seems sweeter and like she is genuinely hurt by Jamie's actions and not just mad that he cheated and left her.
the LIGHTING CHOICES my goodness
This Jaime comes off as so much more genuine and less condescending and it makes the show even more sad honestly
That’s what I’ve always wanted from Jaimie! Ofc Jeremy does a great job but I felt liek the direction of the Jaimie made him so
unapologetically the villain when I think it’s a better show when it’s about people who just weren’t good for each other in the end and not
just “stupid horny cocky man fucks up life”
@@thenachoandthecheeze I totally agree! I don't like the movie at all honestly lol
THANK YOU! Besides Norbert Leo Butz, I hate every other Jamie cause they play him like a complete full of himself asshole. So nice to find another actor who knows how to actually play him.
He also kinda seems like a boring, bland white guy tbh... (I say that as a boring, bland white guy, by the way)
@@Max18haack I think the intention of the material is up to the interpretation of the actors and directors. Personally I think the fall of the relationship is way more tragic if both parties are equally responsible. Although Jamie did cheat on Cathy, you have to keep in mind that these are unreliable narrators. We are only hearing the side of the stories that these characters are willing to share. There’s a lot of implications that Cathy was blaming Jamie for cheating before he was, partly because Cathy was putting her entire self worth on the shoulder of their relationship, since she was so ashamed of her own shortcomings and jealous of his success.
not me re-watching "isn't he wonderful just 28, the savior of writing?!" on loop for 25 minutes... god she KILLS IT
36:33 pov: Jamie thinks you're John Lennen
amazing 👊🤧
*IM BIGGER THAN JOHN LENNON*
Ooof...the part where she is flipping through his book stating/asking that she is "a part of that" start of the heartbreak for Cathy...
Yess and then directly after there’s the musical motif that signals the breakup that gives me chills it’s so well thought out
@@kateclearwater5652 Yes! Hands down my favorite performance/staging of this show i've seen on the youtubes...haha
YEP THAT SENT CHILLS.
omg YES, she must've not seen herself in the special thanks. it's heartbreaking
That sequence was heartbreaking for me as well. More than that, I felt the gravity of the fallout with that book scene.
I think that whoever directed the stage version was team Jamie while the director of the movie was team Cathy
WOW this is so true.
And the truth is somewhere in between... both made mistakes which lead to the ending of their marriage... Personally I think Cathys mistakes weight heavier
@@Heldstar why? Jamie cheated on her
@@JeriTabiliran Well... Yes, and that's a shitty thing to do. But let's ask why? Because he was horny? No. "A miracle would happen" shows us that he doesn't give in to his urges.
Throughout the whole story we see him supporting Cathy unconditionally, while Cathy begins to begrudge Jamie his success. She acts more and more envious and jealous because she's frustrated with her own failures. In the end she acting pretty toxic when he literally begs her to give him the same kind of support he gives her (If I didn't believe in you)... He doesn't cheat on her because he can't control his urges but because he is emotionally unfulfilled. He finds the support he wished Cathy would have given him in the arms of another woman. Also, he recognizes his mistakes, she doesn't. She doesn't even see how difficult it is for Jamie to leave. (Still hurting). Jamie on the other hand is aware that they both fucked up (I could never rescue you) and finally realizes that this is a toxic relationship and that they aren't made for each other. He is still a cheater, but in the end she hurt him which was the reason for him to cheat. That doesn't justify cheating, but it explains it... He doesn't do it in order to hurt her, her frustration, envy and jealousy on the other hand leads her to hurt him willingly.
@@Heldstar you can write full novels of reasons and excuses if you want. BUT THE TEA IS THAT IF YOU ARE TIRED OF A RELATIONSHIP, BREAK UP WITH THEM FIRST NOT CHEAT ON THEM.
zak’s runs & belts give me LIFE
8:22 / 8:50 / 17:23 / 19:10
don't mind me just keeping timestamps for myself
Also the whole section starting at 47:29
tag yourself, i’m the person sniffling during The Next Ten Minutes
Sorry I think you're mistaken bcs that's me..
I'm the one who can't stop rewatching still hurting :(
piano goes so crazy 24/7
That light cue at the beginning I-
Damn. These actors really made both Cathy and Jamie more endearing and likable, which, of course, makes the whole thing even more devastating.
the amount of times i audibly gasped and reacted out loud.This was EVERYTHING.I felt like I was seeing this show for the first time.
first likable jamie ive ever watched lmao i really like this guy
I actually found him way snarkier, stuck up, and entitled than Jeremy’s Jamie (just getting into this musical so he’s the only other portrayal I know), but it’s cool how you see it the exact opposite!!
Really? Norbert’s Jamie wasn’t likable to you?
@@damonficken3457 It's hard to make someone like Jaime very likeable
@@damonficken3457 I can't speak for them, but for me, Norbert's Jamie felt a little bit too full of itself, I guess? This version was a lot more vulnerable and more nuanced in my point of view, it felt a lot easier to feel simpathy for him
He’s the only Jamie that seemed pretty sincere and didn’t make the “ten thousand women you are” lyric super mean and snarky.
gasp my first time hearing Cathy with a lower voice :’) I love itttt
Wdym lower? it's the same range. Do you mean warm? Like... Sherie?
@@Keith_Petersen_Actor They mean an alto
@@claytonsackett8237 How do you know this woman is an alto? She is singing those same Eb's as every other Cathy. Her voice just just warm... Like Sherie
@@Keith_Petersen_Actor Sherie I believe is a mezzo with a warm timbre. You can have a warm timbre that doesn’t directly affect the height of your vocal range. (A male example is Steven Pasquale)
This Cathy (who is fantastic btw) sounds like she is comfortably near the top of her range. There are moments in the show where you can begin to hear it. However, this isn’t a bad thing. I think that it works for Cathy and brings more gravitas to this actresses interpretation of the role.
(If I’m wrong then I’m wrong 🤷🏻♂️)
@@claytonsackett8237 I mean I see your point, I just don't know if a "lower" voice really makes sense in this context.
I love the staging of this version so much - who would have thought that a scarf could make me cry? Also I really really love the way Jamie is characterised as - kind of a naive dumbass who grows and changes and gradually becomes more and more worn down and bitter and lonely. I really believe that he loved Cathy, and so it really hurts to watch him realise that he has to leave her. The most random thing I love is the decision to make Shiksa Goddess an internal monologue type thing, and not something he's saying directly to Cathy or a shadow Cathy. It makes a nice parallel to Cathy's bit of Goodbye Until Tomorrow, and it makes some of the more exaggerated stuff slightly more palatable if it's something he's saying to himself, and not a cheesy one liner. (nobody has ever called me a goddess to my face, but I feel like that would kind of make me cringe a bit). Plus it means that "Maybe I could be in love with someone like you" is a genuine moment of realisation and not a kind of - backhanded compliment that he gives to every girl he sleeps with. My only grievance with this production is that they added a lot of depth and humour to Jamie without doing the same for Cathy - I do thing Margo Seibert is a good singer, and she gave a great performance, but her Cathy is pretty one note, just kind of uptight and angry, which is a shame. It makes it a bit hard to see why the young goofy Jamie would feel he could relate to her. Her voice is gorgeous though. But all things considered this is a really beautiful production and the director and actors did a wonderful job.
Lord in heaven this dude is a good Jamie
Ok Summer in Ohio was literally perfect
"If I hadn't believe in you, I wouldn't have loved you at all" always gets me. The first time I ever saw the show that was the line that punched me in the gut and it still always makes me hate Jamie (even more than him yelling or cheating). Idk if that's just me, but this Jamie was great so it just struck me again.
I completely agree! Cheating is bad, of course, but that one line is so manipulative, it makes it seem as if Jamie is the whole root of the relationship. Without his belief in her, the love wouldn't be there, hence the relationship wouldn't either. Cathy would have reason to feel like the bad guy in that moment. It such a small thing, but sometimes the smallest manipulation is the stuff that hits hardest
That sentence always scared me more than anything. I found this musical right after a pretty messy breakup where he cheated, and tried hard to make me the guilty one. So this sentence gave me chills. Still does
this is margo's world and we're all just living in it
Oof, this made me see things from Jamie's point of view in ways I never wanted to. The part where he calls her, excited to share his news, and he cuts him off and grills him about a woman he isn't into (yet). Obviously Jamie makes mistakes, but he did genuinely love her at one point.
this.
Absolutely
which part?
This is the best "If I didn't believe in you" I've ever seen. He gets it perfectly. It's a pep talk he's annoyed to be having, and the eye roll to that escalation at the bridge was just a perfect choice.
This is absolutely incredible. After so much time spent with the movie version, their takes on the characters are so full and refreshing.
Never knew a scarf could make me cry damn
This show is great for Covid times I saw it a few days ago and they never had to touch and it didn’t seem to change the legacy of the show!
I love when the cast comes out for bows smiling and proud while I am literally sobbing
MARGO is a GENIUS WTF I LOVE THIS
the moment that he sees her for the first time when she gets in the boat is so beautiful , it made me cry so hard
It would be such a shame if this was a bootleg of "last five years". So glad it's not.
i was lucky enough to see this production and have been dying to watch it all over again since i left! tysm!
this is genuinely the best production of this show I have seen, zak and margo are just incredible.
I LOVE THIS CATHY!!!!
I LOVE THEM BOTH! I've had this on repeat since last week!
This Cathy is so good and different. I love this show and the different takes on the character but a lot of actresses tend to play her to be more jealous and resentful of Jamie's success and her lack thereof, but in this version we see a more supportive Cathy who by the end of the marriage has been hurt one too many times. While she is also at fault for the marriage not working (it takes two to tango), she is more sympathetic in this version and I love it.
I LOVE this Jamie’s version of "Nobody Needs to Know" because the pain and inner conflict with himself is so apparent in this. You can see that he loves Cathy and is truly freaked by his actions. He’s generally torn between being committed to Cathy vs getting the love he really needs. It's clear that this affair was caused by miscommunication and feeling distant from Cathy. Whereas in Jeremy Jordan's version, it’s clear that he HAS to be loved by someone and is more desperate for connection. It feels like he has less love for Cathy than this Jamie does. Both versions are fantastic, but I really like this one because of how deeply conflicted he is and how scared he is of his actions
im someone who's indirectly hurt by cheating by people like my father or even my grandparents. so i walked into this musical fully expecting to hate jaime. and somehow the actor managed to get me to emphasize with him. genuinely phenomenal acting. from both jaime and cathy's actors
"My people have suffered for thousands of years and I don't give a shit" is lowkey my favourite line ever
we LOVE a healthy belt holy shittttttttt chILls
This musical makes my mood rise and fall more than Jamie’s jackets
this is like my fav one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
multiple productions like villainizing jamie (it's also very easy to do so, pick a side and go from there) we know right. i love how this version plays it, cuz as far as i know, tl5ys is not about how jamie is a monster who fucked is marriage for fun and more abt a relationship that didn't... work; not bc there's a villan or whatever, but more in the sense that some relationships end. this musicals screams that to me. jamie and cathy arent even in the same vibration, u can see that they're so disconnected by the way the story is told. i think it's so dumb how people like arguing abt which side is the right one when clearly there isn't.
Yes! The reason most stage productions have it where they are only on stage together for the very beginning- middle- and very end is because we are watching cathys version of the story (Jamie is a villian because he left her) from the end to the beginning, and we are watching Jamie’s version of the story (Cathy grew jealous and unstable) from beginning to end. And it shows us how different their versions are because of their perspectives
@@milierubino6324 right!!!!! their timelines and way of storytelling is such an important part of the narrative and also very characteristic of them both (Cathy going from the end to beginning bc she's always stuck in the past, has a hard time going forward with everything - to her life, to her career, love life, endings... Jamie going from the beginning to end bc he has that way of always moving forward, always getting head, etc).
them meeting only at the beginning and middle bc that's the only time they were truly on the same page, same vibration, same time (they don't really meet at the end tho, sure they share the stage but I don't think if fits with the other two times ??)
can u tell I'm really passionate abt this musical??!!!! HAHSHSHSHSHS
I love this show because there are so many moments to pull honestly from in each character that if you watch two different versions you could get two different stories. Did she really mean that? Is he just being defensive? Was this a retaliation or an instigation? There are so many complexities, probably because it's based on someone's actual life and story.
These two are the BEST by far, their voices and delivery
One of the best stagings I have ever seen.
This is my first time watching a stage version of The Last Five Years and I would say the transition going back to Cathy in The Next Ten Minutes is much more effective in here rather than in the movie. I LOVE IT SO MUCH I WAS LIKE SCREAMING THE WHOLE TIME! HAHAHAHA🤣
The movie does not exist.
Do not try to tell me otherwise.
*puts fingers in ears*
La! La! La! La! La! 🙉
@@charlieinfinite9434 Whyyyy the movie is great thou... I mean it's not perfect, but they did a great job.
@@emanuellancecruz3028 Said no real L5Y fan, ever (nor anyone who knows what good singing sounds like).
Don't get me wrong: Jeremy Jordan can sing and Anna Kendrick is good at comedy (and can occasionally pull off a song) but, for anyone who's been with the show since its off-Broadway days, spent over a decade obsessively listening to the soundtrack/watching bootlegs, and pining for a proper film (but also dreading what a Hollywood treatment would look like)... the eventual product was a huge letdown.
The arrangements were choppy, the visual style choices were all wrong, the decision to add so many other characters was distracting and, sadly, Kendrick does not have the vocal range necessary for Cathy.
Its just a simple, beautiful show, intimately told between two characters. Its not RENT or Chicago - the type of thing which can be opened to the world and still hold the same level of absolute heartache and joy.
Next, you'll tell me that Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd is great as well?
@@charlieinfinite9434 I mean it's okay if you don't like the movie version, but I love it still.
Emanuel Lance Cruz i agree with you, i liked the film a ton
WOW , Zak is gorgeous , 6'3 and fit. And he's got a voice. I am a fan.
watch me have a crush on another broadway actor...you know now that im really listening he kinda sounds like ben platt
The version of shiksa goddess in this is amazing!!!! 🥰
My gosh I've been rewatching this again and again for a year now! Thank you for this gem.
AWESOME performances of actors and musicians!!!! Thanks!
I love this production and that it's viewable here. Go from the last scene to the first...never been able to do that before. Kudos to the staging here...
Wow, "Nobody Needs to Know" is spectacular. Definitely one of the best I've seen.
Great job by the both of them overall!
Oh my god the actors are so good!!!! Margo is an amazing cathy!!!😍🤗
This is amazing!! I love this show and the recording quality is great!! Thank you!!
Dancing in Next ten minutes is so great! Fits perfectly!!!
This is such an incredible production, thanks for sharing it! Makes TL5Y feel new again
can't get enough of Jamie's voice!!!
this is sooooooo goooood omg thanku
i saw margo in in transit a little after this show happened! i thought she looked familiar!
Thank you so much for this!!
CHILLS LITERAL CHILLS
This is only my second time seeing a live stage production of this musical but I've listened to the original cast recording probably over 500 times at this point and I'm absolutely shook at so many of the little details here that really add to it: their costumes as a way of showcasing the passage of time (the watch, the scarf, the rings). The parallel shot of her picking up his scarf and smelling it vs. him backstage holding the scarf out. Her putting the watch in the box vs. him giving it to her during The Schmuel Song. The little touches of humor here and there and like many other comments say the softening of Jamie's character -- I've never been really team either one of them bc I think they're both pretty awful people to each other BUT this made me feel so much sympathy for both of them, just in the way they were acted. Massive kudos to Margo and Zak.
Also, something that really struck me watching it is how a lot of the musical's tragedy comes from how isolated both Cathy and Jamie are forced to be. They both go through the highs AND lows of their relationship entirely alone, and so does the audience. Even though we see both of their sides of the same/similar events as the musical progresses, it's very clear how separated they're meant to be seen from the start. Even The Next Ten Minutes, which is their literal wedding, only brings them together chronologically for about six and a half minutes before they're separated again, and here it was staged so well I teared up: the way it starts with him not wearing a coat and talking to her in the boat, and then she shows up in his coat and it ends with him giving it back to her so we see her on the other side of the boat talking to him? Please. I don't know why this is one of my favorite musicals of all time because it is just SO sad and I normally hate sad endings but here we are, lol.
I love this so much, they're so good!
Thank you thank you thank you.
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE
When I first watched this show, I was kinda like “Team Cathy, duh! Jamie was never there and he cheated”. But after rewatching it, I began to understand Jamie’s side even more. He was trying his best but he couldn’t help Cathy because her problems were more internal and they wouldn’t be fixed with external presence & words & stuff… In the end, they’re both wrong at some point and it’s just so SAD
This show is just so raw and profound and even with the simplicity of the production, staging, & orchestration, the way it’s told is so poetic and *beautiful*
And also, THIS PRODUCTION DID SO WELL IN PORTRAYING THE STORY **sobs**
This show is so heartbreakingly beautiful
rewatching this and feel like I noticed something... during Im apart of that she looks through the book at the end. I’m assuming she is looking for her name in the dedication of his book but doesn’t see it.
Yeah, she looks so hurt, and that's why this version of Cathy is so interesting because she seems less jealous of Jamie and more hurt by his lack of support and encouragement because she's not a very secure person. Other versions of Cathy seem more jealous of Jamie's success and I think this take is so different and nice to see.
@@katiee4396 I AGREE! I love Margot Seibert so much. and this made me love her even more. I also found this take on Jamie to be soo much more likeable. They both seemed to be so much more playful!
@@azariaoglesby3148 I agree! Both characters are so much more likeable and believable here than in many other versions. I love the little things like her delivery of ‘I am not always on time’
she's actually realizing she's apart of that (separated from that reality) and not a part of that, it's a wordplay
Joao Marcos right.. that was my point. JRB is a lyrical genius and there is so much room to play. And I think she does that in that moment.
THIS JAMIE IS AMAZING !!! 😍😍
zak is unreal
theory: "i could never rescue you" plays at their wedding bc that's the moment their relationship was doomed to end badly
i think this totally makes sense! that melodic theme is called the “Marriage Waltz” and opens the whole show at the beginning of Still Hurting. replaying/re-interpolating the notes throughout the show is powerful, but it feels even more gut-wrenching to me here because Jamie truly thought on some level that he could “rescue” Cathy by marrying her
23:08 one of the most heartbreaking moments in the show tbh
fantastic!
I’m a minute in and I already love it!!
this is terrific
Thank you!!
Thank you, I’ve been looking everywhere for this! Would you happen to have a google drive link?
I think I'm responsible for at least half of this bootleg views
god zak's vocals choices are so fucking good
58:35 oh my god i always find new things in this boot to love! i actually saw Zak at a stage door visiting a friend but I didn't want to interrupt them
This is so good the Jamie is so good ❤️
Its refreshing to see a Cathy that isn’t naisley
tfw your husband cancels you
I think Margo spots the camera in “I Can Do Better Than That”
Get this guy to sing these songs in a studio pls
AH beautiful!!
Better than almost every other production I've seen of The Last 5 Years! Like so natural and not these fake pop sounding people. These guys, Norbert and Sheri are my favs.
Hehehehe good one :) great upload!!
Its good that this is not a bootleg, I was worried at first. I sure hope no one goes and posts a bootleg of the 2013 version with betsy wolfee and Adam Kantor either.
or the version with samantha barks and jonathan bailey (youtube his version of if i didn't believe in you).
did you ever *not* find this bootleg?
Mesmerizing.
they'd be perfect for a Will & Grace musical
WHAT will you post NEXT for our musical theatre enjoyment?
That is one attractive Jamie
these tempos.
As someone who was first exposed to The Last Five Years through Jeremy Jordan & Anna Kendrick's portrayals, I have to say it's very interesting how the stage production does things. If I had no clue what the show was about and I had watched the play live first, I feel like it would have been more confusing, though? I mean, obviously you get the playbill but was there any kind of brief announcement about the "synopsis" or the show before it started?
