    Superb
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 3, 2013*

I am a big fan of musical theater so I'm not THAT hard to please, but even so, there are objectively bad and objectively good examples of the craft.  "Ragtime" is good.  "Titanic" is bad.  And "The Last Five Years" is excellent.  The story is engaging, the emotions pure and the characters likable.  This all comes out in the soundtrack, which is at times funny, poignant and haunting.  It follows the five-year relationship and marriage of the two characters -- Jamie, a successful writer, and Cathy, a struggling actress -- but in opposite chronological order.  His story is told normally, while hers is told backwards.  At the beginning of the show, and the first song on the soundtrack,  Cathy is somewhat bitterly lamenting the end of their marriage, and how it seems so easy for him, while she is Still Hurting.  Next, Jamie is having his first date with Cathy with the amusing and charming "Shiksa Goddess."  Then, Cathy is making one last ditch effort to salvage their clearly broken marriage as he visits her in Ohio in, "See, I'm Smiling."  People who have tried to convince themselves that they are in the right relationship when they are clearly not will easily relate to this.The striking thing about the progression of songs is that it shows both characters are sympathetic, if also obviously flawed: he is narcissistic, she is clingy, and consequently their marriage was doomed before they got finished with "The Next Ten Minutes."For my money, the most haunting song here is "Nobody Needs to Know."  Jamie sings it after waking up with his mistress. His wife is in Ohio, and he is cheating on her.  The listener is compelled to have mixed feelings.  Yes, he's cheating.  But he was doomed never to have a fulfilling life with Cathy, and one gets the impression from listening to this song that he is so self-absorbed, he will never have a fulfilling relationship with anyone.And neither, it seems, will Cathy.  She's a decent actress, good enough for paid work in regional theater, but probably not good enough to hit the big time.  She will always be needy, and so she too will have a hard time finding a fulfilling relationship.Both of them are at heart good, and you want good things to happen to them.  But you are left with the feeling that, at least as far as romance, they are both doomed, and at the end of the last song, when they both say "Goodbye" at the same time, you really have a sense of the tragedy in that.

    This is probably my favorite musical ever
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 21, 2015*

Ugh... what can possibly be said about this?  This is probably my favorite musical ever, and the format of the show is so awesome.  Even after listening to this hundreds of times, I still find myself finding a new moment to connect with or new respect and empathy for the characters.  Because they are telling their story in chronologically opposite direction, my feelings for each of the characters changes through the show.  They develop slowly over time.  You understand why they did what they did when they did it.  The songs are incredible, and Norbert Leo Butz redefines what it means to have a sexy, soulful, expressive voice.  Both characters are performed with such subtlety and maturity and depth.  It's impossible not to feel invested in their story.  It's impossible not to get wrapped up in the beauty of the love they share and the heartbreak they face.  And if you haven't seen the movie, please for the love of all that is good in the world, listen to this first.  The movie absolutely ruined this show as it was meant to be, and a lot of depth is lost in that.  Even without seeing Butz and Scott perform, listening to this is a much more moving experience.  If you did see the movie and liked it, you won't believe how much better it can be.  If you saw the movie and hated it, you are a wise individual.  Now, everyone should just listen to this.  And let Butz flood his wonderfulness all over you.  And let Scott make you cry a few tears.  It's so wonderful...

    Product was delivered as promised an perfect condition but...
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 26, 2012*

I had not seen this show but was familiar with a couple of the songs. I found that I didn't particularly care for the book, but since that always a matter of personal opinion and expectations others may strongly disagree. Had I known more about the show than just the sangs that I liked, I might just have bought the sangs, on the other hand it certainly adds to my collection of Broadway Shows even though it won't be one of my favorites.
