Sometimes breakups are big, ugly affairs that ruin friendships and alter lives forever. There’s back-stabbing and blame thrown around. Hurt feelings. Broken hearts.

In case you’re not familiar with it, The Last Five Years is a musical where a man and woman tell the story off meeting, falling in love, marrying, and then having it all fall apart over a five year period in crossing timelines (her first song is about him leaving for good, his is about their first date).
The production that I directed and accidentally starred in back in 2011 was a nightmare from start to finish that I thought was entirely behind me. Turns out I wasn’t as “over it” as I thought.
