Posted: 6/14/06 at 5:46pmIs there any dialogue in this show? Not having ever seen it, I was wondering if it just worked as song afet song, or what? Does anyone have the script?

there is no real dialogue, but from what I remember, there are extended musical sequences where some talking does take place, like in "moving too fast", Jamie talks on the phone.
that kind of small stuff.

Posted: 6/14/06 at 6:18pmThere's some limited dialogue from Jamie...a phone call, a book reading...but not much at all. None from Cathy that I can think of.

In cases like these, consult "the Bible."

Posted: 6/14/06 at 7:59pmI'd be careful about using that site as the be all end all. Sometimes, they don't have the libretto, just the lyrics (like I know that Millie has dialogue, but it's not there). In this case, though it's correct.

I *love* this show 
Sherie & Norbie: AWESOMENESS *sigh* And they are great together in DRS, too.
As far as I know, Jon is right: It's all on the CD
Just heard/read that there is going to be a a production in London. This is all that has been said: "Dates have finally been announced for Jason Robert Brown’s The Last Five Years in London. Just hours after Brown writing in his online blog that ‘in the last forty-eight hours, things got completely f***** up and now I don't know what’s happening’, the Menier Chocolate Factory – who have left it late to announce dates, and still not announced its cast – revealed that previews begin on July 18th for a season until September 30th. The two-hander, directed by Matthew White, is one of the most eagerly awaited musicals for avid musical theatre fans; the CD has an almost cult like status, particularly amongst students studying musical theatre in Britain."
