Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren Belt from Broadway's 'The Last Five Years' in First Listen at Upcoming Revival (Exclusive)


Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren Belt from Broadway

Published on January 22, 2025 Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren are inching closer to Broadway in the highly anticipated revival of The Last Five Years, and PEOPLE has a first listen at the pair singing two of the musical's most popular tunes. In an exclusive video released by the show's production on Wednesday, Jan. 22, fans can see the two actors recording studio versions of "I Can Do Better Than That" and "Moving Too Fast" from three-time Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown's beloved score. The Last Five Years follows the demise of a relationship between a rising novelist named Jamie (Jonas, 32) and a struggling actress named Cathy (Warren, 37), across two different timelines. His perspective is told in chronological order from when the couple first got together, while hers is told in reverse, from the end of their marriage. Preview performances for the revival, directed by Tony Award nominee Whitney White, begin at the Hudson Theatre in New York City on March 18, ahead of an official opening on April 6. The limited-run production is currently set to play for just 14 weeks, through June 22. Not only will The Last Five Years mark a return to the boards for both Jonas and Warren — he, last in 2012's How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and she, as a 2021 Tony winner for her portrayal of Tina Turner in Tina, based on the music icon's life — it will also mark the first time The Last Five Years has ever been on Broadway. Featuring a book, music and lyrics by Brown, the two-hander first premiered at Chicago's Northlight Theatre in 2001. A year later, a New York City production starring Norbert Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott premiered off-Broadway at the Minetta Lane Theater. That cast recording helped The Last Five Years become a favorite among the musical-theater crowd, with songs from the show — including "Nobody Needs to Know," "Still Hurting," "If I Didn't Believe in You" and "The Next Ten Minutes" — becoming industry staples over the years.
