The Last Five Years (25th Anniversary Live at the London Palladium) To Be Released This Month

Theatre lovers on both sides of the Atlantic have been treated to something very special over the last two weeks, with the special 25th anniversary celebration performances of The Last Five Years, starring Ben Platt and Rachel Zegler.


Now, audiences all over the world will be able to enjoy their performances, with the announcement that the live recording will be released as an album on April 20th.


The stars surprised the audience at their huge Hollywood Bowl show tonight by announcing the release of the album on stage. It was recorded at the London Palladium last week, with Platt and Zegler joined on stage by the show's writer Jason Robert Brown, conducting and playing the piano.


The Last Five Years (25th Anniversary Live At The London Palladium) is available to pre-order and pre-save HERE.



THE LAST FIVE YEARS (25th Anniversary Live at the London Palladium) follows Atlantic Records’ long-running string of landmark Original Broadway Cast Recordings, including 2015’s GRAMMY® Award-winning, RIAA Diamond-certified milestone, Hamilton, 2017’s GRAMMY® Award-winning Dear Evan Hansen, 2021’s GRAMMY® Award-winning Jagged Little Pill , 2024’s GRAMMY® Award-nominated musicals, The Notebook and Suffs, as well as last year’s GRAMMY® Award-nominated Just In Time.


The 25th Anniversary production is presented by Lambert Jackson with LW Tickets, directed and conducted by Jason Robert Brown, with associate direction by Emma Butler and musical direction by Leo Munby.
