Thank you.A workshop adaptation of Jason Robert Brown's beloved 2-person musical, The Last Five Years, in a gender-swapped context. What would we learn about preconceived assumptions of gender roles and power dynamics in a husband-wife relationship if the successful, popular novelist Jamie, was reimagined as the wife, Amy, while the struggling actor and jilted spouse Cathy was reimagined as the husband, Danny, instead? The Last Five Years: A Gender Reversal seeks to explore and hopefully discover answers to questions about gender roles and dynamics, power and control within a straight relationship that might exist in the text of The Last Five Years, but that would remain un-surfaced with a regular casting approach. Our workshop and showcase also aims to explore whether or not a gender-swapped performance of the text can still be convincing, realistic, and relatable to present-day straight relationships in the cultural context of an urban, metropolitan setting.   Synopsis of adaptation:   Set in New York City, the musical follows a relationship between a couple, Danny (Cathy) and Amy (Jamie), from their first date, to their marriage, to the end of their relationship in a divorce. Their relationship could be characterized as having an explosive start, with their paths beginning to diverge when Amy finds success as a novelist while Danny struggles to gain recognition as a musical theatre actor, and finally ending in divorce after Amy cheats on Danny when he is away from New York City on a performance tour.   Amy Wellerstein – Ethel Yap Danny Hiatt – Joash Tang Directed by Cherilyn Woo Music Directed by Aloysius Foong Dramaturgy and text adaptation by Jo Tan Produced by Ethel Yap, and developed in residency under Centre 42's Basement Workshop series.
