The Last Five Years
“Director Rob Lutfy’s staging injects an extra sense of tension and poignancy by having both Williams and Cusimano take the stage for nearly the entire show…with wit and elegance”
-James Hebert, Union Tribune
“Under Lutfy’s deft hand, the musical is elegant and enchanting…expertly directed.
-Kris Eitland, San Diego Story
“Directed by Rob Lutfy, this show eschews the more traditional staging of the piece where each character is alone on the stage for each of their songs. Instead, Lutfy has them sharing the stage, with each moment triggered by something as they pack or unpack their boxes and memories…magical production”
-E.H. Reiter, Broadway World
