Sara Bareilles’s pop-rock musical is filled with scrumptious pie—so much pie—and is one of the most famous musicals from the past decade. It’s a story of friendship, chosen family, and embracing love from unexpected places.

The Last Five Years

  • ASL Interpreted: March 9 at 2 p.m.
  • Audio Described: March 9 at 2 p.m.

An interwoven love story, this modern musical takes a devastatingly honest look at one couple’s journey falling in and out of love. Through clever storytelling and sharp lyrics, Jason Robert Brown's cult favorite gives us a raw and intimate window into two souls and two perspectives of one relationship.

Next Line

Support the South Sound arts while enjoying a vivid night out and experience more from The Magic Flute by learning about its creation...from its creators.

  • Tacoma Arts Live invites you to join them for Vivid, a fundraiser for the arts. On March 22, assist in raising funds to light up the South Sound with creative, meaningful, and accessible art experiences. Enjoy a sparkling, technicolor celebration of all the ways the arts light up the night with hope, color, and creativity.
  • Before attending The Magic Flute at Seattle Opera, go behind the scenes with an interview between its creators Barrie Kosky, Suzanne Andrade, and Paul Barritt.  “Suzanne, Paul, and I share a love for revue, vaudeville, music hall, and similar forms of theater, and, of course, for silent film. So, Papageno is suggestive of Buster Keaton, Monostatos is a bit Nosferatu, and Pamina perhaps a bit reminiscent of Louise Brooks.”
We’ve got a spring in our step as we look forward to a new season filled with exceptional performances.
