(Official Announcement) Atlantic Records has officially released the live recording of Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown's The Last Five Years (25th Anniversary Live at the London Palladium), featuring Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award winner Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen, Pitch Perfect, Parade) and Golden Globe, NBR, and Olivier winner Rachel Zegler (Evita, The Hunger Games, West Side Story).

First announced at the Hollywood Bowl, where the stars surprised the audience from the stage during the evening's bows, the album is available now on all digital platforms here.

"It's impossible for me to imagine two performers who could embody these characters as seamlessly, as virtuosically, and with as much deep emotion as Ben and Rachel," said Brown. "This recording is an incredible cap on the first quarter-century of the extraordinary life of The Last Five Years and the best possible springboard for whatever comes next. These two titanic talents are the future of musical theater, and I'm both immensely proud of them and honored by their commitment to my work."

Captured live during the limited, sold-out concert residency at the historic London Palladium from March 24-29, 2026, the recording documents the electric chemistry of Platt and Zegler in this special 25th Anniversary staging. Conducted and directed by Brown (Parade, The Bridges of Madison County), the album brings the intimate, non-linear story of Cathy and Jamie to life with a symphonic scale and emotional depth.

The celebration of this landmark anniversary concluded earlier this month with two final sold-out performances in New York City at Radio City Music Hall.
