"The premise of "The Last Five Years" is that of a couple's relationship, marriage, and divorce seen through the eyes, heard through the voices and projected from the heart. The twist is that one character tells the story from beginning to end, while the other character tells the story from end to beginning...The staging itself in The Schubert Theatre is intriguing by Scenic Designer Charlie Calvert, working with Lighting Designer Matthew Lewandowski II. A "brick wall" backdrop displaying rows of some 20 black and white photographs of the couple is framed by three huge recessed, shadow-box representations of picture frames, each with strips of color-changing hues: a portal to past, present and future."
