Last month I was asked to accompany a university student that will be graduating in Musical Theatre this semester. He is putting on a musical review of The Last Five Years. It came out in theaters earlier this year, but for those of you that aren't familiar with the work, Wikipedia gives a good synopsis of the show:
"The story explores a five-year relationship between Jamie, a rising novelist, and Cathy, a struggling actress. The show uses a form of storytelling in which Cathy's story is told in reverse chronological order (beginning the show at the end of the marriage), and Jamie's told in chronological order (starting just after the couple have first met). The characters do not directly interact except for a wedding song in the middle as their timelines intersect."
Here is the trailer for the movie version:
The other day we had our first rehearsal for the recital, which will be at the end of the month. It was a lot of fun! Both performers are incredibly talented. I'm confident it'll will be a wonderful show. I enjoy working with other musicians. There is only so much one person can do on their own.
I was also asked to help create a poster to advertise their performance. The student wanted the result to be similar to that of Swell Season's Strict Joy album cover. Here is the result before he added some more effects and text:
I'm looking forward to continued work on this project. :)
