“Smell is one of strongest memory triggers. Through the use of scents, The Last Five Years: A Multisensory Experience creates an interactive show…an immersive appetizer for the uninitiated and a sorbet for the connoisseur. Like a good tasting meal, you’re left wanting more, the literal smell of a fine time hanging about you.”
Anthony Robinson, No Proscenium
"This musical production is at one a powerful serenade of life and love’s precarious challenges and new beginnings, performed by a cohesive duo. The After Hours Theatre Company is a great example of small musical theatre offerings here in our city of angels."
