A newly announced live album will capture Ben Platt and Rachel Zegler’s performances in The Last Five Years, bringing a concert version of the musical to listeners beyond the stage. The release marks a recorded snapshot of their run at the London Palladium, where the pair performed songs from Jason Robert Brown’s well-known two-person show.
The announcement places the album alongside the musical’s 25th anniversary celebration, giving fans a new way to hear this version of the production. The Last Five Years has long held a strong place in musical theater for its unusual structure, telling the story of a relationship from two opposite timelines.
Platt and Zegler are both known for strong vocal performances, which made this staging a closely watched event for theater fans. A live album also preserves the energy of a one-time performance in a way studio recordings often do not.
