Description
Did we just hear an alarm start ringing? No, it’s just our first episode, you guys! And it’s a doozy of a show that we Broadway Babies decided to talk about: the original off-Broadway 2002 production of Jason Robert Brown’s “The Last Five Years.” We'll go down the track list rabbit hole of this cast recording, song by song, talk about its insightful score, how much Alex adores Sherie Rene Scott, Daisha definitely not being Team Jamie, and then give our totally unqualified critiques of the show. Grab your corned beef sandwich, put on your Daisy Mae sweater, and take your time!

Like, he goes into such detail about one word or lyric line and it’s just fantastic to give a read. There’s a Last Five Years medley; it’s kind of weird mostly because it was too short and not enough Cathy songs. Miscast Raul Esparza and guest star NLB do Next Ten Minutes omg. Someone also proposed to his wife with Next Ten Minutes, which is sweet, until you remember what happens in the show.
