I reviewed the world premiere of Jason Robert Brown's "The Last Five Years" when it opened Off Broadway in 2002. Back then, I came up with a way-too-cute alternate title for this two-hander musical. I called it "I Do!

The Last Five Years' makes its long overdue Broadway debut, with the incompatible but still charming Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren.

“The Last Five Years,” composer Jason Robert Brown’s downer story of a failed marriage, has always been an unsatisfying musical. Yes, legions cherish Brown’s 24-year-old pop-rock tunes like “I Can Do Better Than That” and “Moving Too Fast” — not me! — and the emotional sledgehammer numbers are mainstays of cabarets all over the world.
