Rachel Zegler Returns To West End In 2026

The Last Five Years West End concert run starring Ben Platt & Rachel Zegler.

From 24 to 29 March 2026.

Stage and screen favorites Ben Platt and Rachel Zegler are set to star in a special concert engagement of The Last Five Years at The London Palladium, marking the show’s 25th anniversary. The production will be conducted and directed by the show’s creator and composer, Jason Robert Brown.

Originally premiering in Chicago in 2001 and later Off-Broadway in 2002, The Last Five Years follows the rise and fall of a couple’s five-year relationship—told through two interwoven timelines: Cathy’s story unfolds in reverse, while Jamie’s progresses chronologically. The acclaimed musical has seen numerous international productions and was adapted into a 2014 film starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan.

This limited West End engagement will see Platt and Zegler take on the roles of Jamie and Cathy in a series of concert performances running 24–29 March 2026, celebrating a quarter-century of Brown’s beloved two-character piece.

The production is presented by Lambert Jackson in partnership with LW Tickets.

Producer Jamie Lambert shared his enthusiasm:

“This beautiful show has touched audiences across the globe, and it deserves this incredible cast for its 25th anniversary. Working again with Jason Robert Brown—one of the greatest composers of our time—is an absolute honor, and we’re deeply grateful for his continued trust in Lambert Jackson. Collaborating with LW Tickets and presenting this at The London Palladium, where we’ve produced more than 30 shows, marks an exciting new chapter for everyone involved.”

Brown’s celebrated score includes fan favorites such as “Still Hurting,” “The Schmuel Song,” “If I Didn’t Believe in You,” and “Goodbye Until Tomorrow.” The concert’s creative team also features musical director Leo Munby and associate director Emma Butler.

Tickets go on general sale Friday, 31 October at 10am, with pre-sale access available Thursday, 30 October at 10am.
