A lot has happened in the last three years since Millennial Theatre Company last staged “The Last Five Years.”
The biggest change is a pandemic that has kept MTC and nearly every other local theater from performing for a live audience.
The group used Hopewell Theatre’s intimate performance space in Youngstown for its 2018 production of the two-character musical written by Jason Robert Brown.
“We only did one weekend, and the cast and I always joked about doing a revival at some point or a concert version or putting songs online at the very least,” director Joe Asente said. “Once we got through ‘Songs from the New World’ (an early musical by Brown that MTC presented online last fall) and realized how we could do it, the rights came available for ‘Last Five Years’ for remote performances.”
