Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren will star in The last five years on Broadway in spring 2025.
The revival of the musical, which features a score and book by Jason Robert Brown, will be directed by Whitney White, Tony Award nominee for Jaja’s African hair braiding.
While The last five years premiered in 2001, broadcast Off-Broadway in 2002 and 2013 and adapted for film, this will be the first time the musical has appeared on Broadway. The theater and exact dates will be announced later.
The last five years follows two New Yorkers, aspiring author Jamie and aspiring actress Cathy, as they each recount the ups and downs of their romantic relationships over the past five years, starting on opposite sides of the chronology.
“I always believed that when the time was right, The last five years would make its way to Broadway. Having Nick and Adrienne take on these roles is a composer’s dream come true, and benefiting from Whitney’s extraordinary guidance and vision is every playwright’s hope. It’s taken twenty-five years, but the time has come,” Brown said.
In addition to his career with the Jonas Brothers, Jonas appeared on Broadway in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying replacing Daniel Radcliffe for a run in 2012. He also performed on Broadway as a child, appearing in WretchedThe beauty and the Beast And Annie, take your gun. The Jonas Brothers launched a new tour in 2023, which included stops on Broadway, and is expected to continue through 2024.
Warren won a Tony Award for her portrayal of Tina Turner in Tina: The Tina Turner Musical. She was nominated for a Tony for her role in the 2016 musical Mix, opposite Audra McDonald, and made her Broadway debut in the 2012 musical Bring it. She has also appeared in several film and television projects, including Rustin And The woman kingthe Hulu limited series Black cake and the ABC limited series Women of the Movement.
The revival is produced by Seaview, ATG Productions and the Season.
