    I find Betsy adds so much to Cathy’s character - most of the time, I find that Cathys appear boring and it’s hard to imagine how Jamie fell in love with her, but Betsy puts in so much charisma and humour that Cathy’s transformation from happy to heartbroken is even more hard hitting!!

    • @regisregi9295
      @regisregi9295 3 года назад +9

      You're completely right, most of the time when I saw the movie I was siding with Cathy just cause at least she didn't cheat lol
      Betsy's delivery is something else for sure.

    • @Gameongameshow
      @Gameongameshow Год назад +4

      Look at how crazy spontaneous, and full of potential and drive Kathy is in the last few songs at thr beginning of their relationship.. she actually has success in her career, but also she drive and a twinkle in her eye. Once she starts dating Jamie, something happens.. he gets super successful and she kinda just falls into the background and starts to believe that he's thebest part of her, and that's when she starts getting sad. But if you're looking for it, you'll see that she was different before. Jamie changed too in other ways, but that's for another day

    • @selenawhateverz
      @selenawhateverz 11 месяцев назад

      The reason Cathy may be perceived as boring is because the story is told from Jamie's point if view, and he's the only one allowed to be interesting in his story

    I think that the last five years deserve to be on Broadway it's not as expensive as other shows like Phantom of the Opera and it's a masterpiece and a very well liked and popular musical .They would sale many tickets if they ever decide to put it on Broadway

    • @radicalshof
      @radicalshof 4 года назад +37

      Alex P.D I feel it’s best it isn’t on broadway or never will be. I think this show needs the intimacy of the story kept strong and they can’t do that in a Broadway theatre.

    • @dommitchell4319
      @dommitchell4319 4 года назад +68

      Why do people act as if Off-Broadway is lesser than Broadway? The only difference between the two if we're honest is that Broadway Theaters have more seats than Off-Broadway. That's the key reason why a show like The Last Five Years thrives Off-Broadway, It's a smaller, more intimate experience which is not a bad thing.
      And also if you actually look into it most Broadway theaters aren't even on Broadway.

    I do not like musicals because of the unnecessary screaming, the fake laughters, because of songs like this one. This is really the type of songs I cannot stand and yet, this amazing singer made me listen to her performance more than 50 times in 2 days. It is practically impossible for me to resist. The "... you don't have to get a haircut..." section and the culmination of energy is so palpable! Nothing but respect.

    Control for days! Everything was just Brad and resonant and ringing. Her vibrato is one of my favorites it’s just so seamless. She really knows how to push and pull with music like this. Taking some phrases out of time and then speeding up another. It’s so smart and I loved all her choices vocally. Those high notes man was so clear and full, I mean she’s phenomenal. I cannot get over how much I love her voice. I wanna hear her sing “dying ain’t so bad.” She’d murder that song!

    My best friend had a little situation
    At the end of our senior year
    And like a shot, she and Mitchell got married that summer
    Carolann getting bigger every minute
    Thinking, "What am I doing here?"
    While Mitchell's out every night
    Being a heavy-metal drummer
    They got a little cute house on a little cute street
    With a crucifix on the door
    Mitchell got a job at the record store in the mall
    Just the typical facts of a typical life in a town on the Eastern Shore
    I thought about what I wanted
    It wasn't like that at all
    Made Carolann a cute baby sweater
    Thinking "I can do better than that"
    In a year or so, I moved to the city
    Thinking "What have I got to lose?"
    Got a room, got a cat, and got twenty pounds thinner
    Met a guy in a class I was taking who you might say
    Looked like Tom Cruise
    He wouldn't leave me alone 'less I went with him to dinner
    And I guess he was cute
    And I guess he was sweet
    ANd I guess he was good in bed
    I gave up my life for a better part of a year
    And so I'm starting to think that this maybe might work
    And the second it entered my head
    He needed to take some time off
    Focus on his "career"
    He blew me off with a heartfelt letter
    I thought "I can do better than that"
    You don't have to get a haircute
    You don't have to change your shoes
    You don't have to like Duran Duran
    Just love me
    You don't have to put the seat down
    You don't have to watch the news
    You dont' have to learn to tango
    You don't have to eat prosciutto
    You don't have to change a thing
    Just stay with me
    I want you and you and nothing but you
    Miles and piles of you
    Finally I'll have something worthwhile
    To think about each morning
    You and you and nothing but you
    No substitution will do
    Nothing but fresh, undiluted and pure
    Top of the line and totally mine!
    I don't need any lifetime commitments
    I don't need to get hitched tonight
    I don't want to throw up your walls and defenses
    I don't mean to put on any pressure
    But I know what a thing is right
    And I spend every day reconfiguring my sense
    When we get to my house, take a look at that town
    Take a look at how far I've gone
    I will never go back
    Never look back anymoure
    And it feels like my life led right to your side
    And will keep me there from now on
    Think about what you wanted
    Think about what could be
    THink about how I love you
    Say you'll move in with me
    Think of what's great about me and you
    Think of the bullsh*t we've both been through
    Think of what's past because we can do better!
    We can do better!
    We can do better than that!
    We can do better than that!
