It has been announced that the pair will star in the 25th anniversary production at the London Palladium.
It has been confirmed that Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award winner Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen, Pitch Perfect, Parade) and Golden Globe and NBR winner Rachel Zegler (Evita, The Hunger Games, West Side Story) will star in a new concert staging of Jason Robert Brown’s The Last Five Years.
The show will return to London, playing at the London Palladium from the 24th to the 29th March 2026. It will be directed and conducted by the show’s composer Jason Robert Brown.
With tickets going on sale on the 31st October, the series of concert performances will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the two hander musical which looks at the five year relationship between Jamie Wellerstein, a rising novelist, and Cathy Hiatt, a struggling actress.
The Last Five Years is being presented by Lambert Jackson with LW Tickets with musical direction by Leo Munby. Emma Butler is associate director.
Jamie Lambert said, “This beautiful show which has impacted so many people around the world deserves this stellar cast for its 25th anniversary. Getting to work with Jason Robert Brown again, one of the greatest composers of our time, is a total privilege and his faith in Lambert Jackson is something we are forever grateful for. Working with LW tickets and deepening our relationship with the LW team by taking a week at The London Palladium, where we’ve produced over 30 shows, is a great step forward for all involved and we’re excited to see where it leads.”
