(Vocal Selections). Jason Robert Brown, the creator of Parade and Songs for a New World , has written a distinctive new Off-Broadway musical. The Last Five Years tells the story of a failed marriage of 20-somethings: he a successful novelist, she a struggling actress. Her story is told in reverse, his conventionally moving forward. They meet in the middle at the point of their wedding. Brown's strong writing has found a solid following among musical theatre fans. Our songbook features piano/vocal arrangements of 12 songs: Goodbye Until Tomorrow * I Can Do Better Than That * If I Didn't Believe in You * Moving Too Fast * The Next Ten Minutes * Nobody Needs to Know * A Part of That * The Schmuel Song * Shiksa Goddess * Still Hurting * A Summer in Ohio * When You Come Home to Me. "Short, bittersweet and nearly perfect, Brown has come up with a winning combination of music and book." Variety

Title: Great for auditions...if your pianist is familiar...
Review: This book has all of the wonderful music from this fantastic show, and I used it more than once for auditions. Beware, though... the piano is pretty challenging in parts. I learned this the hard way at a couple of auditions. It might be too much to expect your accompanist to sight read. Great to find performance pieces for cabarets etc!

Title: Legit Love Story
Review: So I've been in love with my best friend for literally five years. She and I are both performers that have been in shows together and have always experienced theatre in a very intimate way. When I first saw The Last Five Years, I had just gotten out of my first serious relationship and it helped me process my emotions. Soon after, my best friend also broke up with her boyfriend and I showed her this musical and we cried together. It was a great time. She just graduated high school and is going to college for vocal performance and is always practicing singing. She has a voice that makes you cry just because of how sincere the lyrics sound and how clear her notes carry. So I bought this Vocal Selection for her, and once again we cried and it was great. This also inspired me to start taking piano and vocal lessons again so that I might be able to sing for her sometime. 5/5 for sure.

Title: it is a great tool to use
Review: While it doesn't have complete versions of some of the songs, it is a great tool to use, should you have the balls to audition with JRB... and is great for cabaret versions of the songs.

Title: but anyone more musically inclined than myself will be just fine.
Review: Couple critical songs missing, but knew this going into the purchase. Some difficult keys to play in, but anyone more musically inclined than myself will be just fine.

Title: Great sheet music, wish it had chords to go with all of it for sightreading
Review: I appreciate the authenticity of this book. The music is very detailed and unabridged. That being said, there are many sections of songs that I'd love to sing along with while I play that are extremely difficult. Chords are written above the staff in many sections of the book, but others are left out. I like having chords for when I'm lazily playing and want to sing along with the song without having to take the time to learn and practice an entire piece. Especially when it comes to music like this that is very dynamic and complex.

Title: I enjoy it!
Review: Some people were complaining about "Climbing Uphill"/"When you come home to me" but it is all there and you can choose where to cut for her audition song if you wanted to use it for your own audition. Most of these are too long to take to an audition anyway. I enjoy it!

Title: Why did they leave out Still Smiling??
Review: great, accurate renditions of the musical. But as my title states, why?? Why??? One of the best songs in the musical... I can forgive it, though, because the rest is great

Review: The whole musical has a wonderful concept - a relationship from beginning to end over 5 years, told by both parties. The songs are emotional - raw and real and true to life. Each song is wonderful on its own, but woven together the story is beautiful and tragic at the same time.Particular favourites of mine include "Till You Come Home To Me", "Still Hurting", "If I Didn't Believe In You", and "The Schmuel Song".
