Looking Deeper at the Music of: The Last Five Years

Welcome back!
In this short video series I look at Jason Robert Brown's 2001 Musical "The Last Five Years", and how he subtly uses morphing time signatures to reflect the character arc and structure.

My favorite musical hardly anyones heard of. The movie was unexpected and I like to forget it exists which is sad. To me it kills all the things that make the show so special. Sad I’m just finding this and you seem to not have continued the series ☹️

Thanks, the show is indeed fantastic! I intend to continue the series. I had lost my train of thought with it though
