In Performance: Adam Kantor of ‘The Last Five Years’

Jason Robert Brown’s 2002 musical “The Last Five Years” is a two-character show about a couple, Jamie and Cathy, whose relationship is deteriorating. The story uses an unconventional chronology: Jamie’s arc begins when he meets Cathy and then progresses forward, while Cathy’s begins with the couple’s parting kiss and runs backward. In this number, Adam Kantor, who plays Jamie, is accompanied by Gary Sieger on guitar in an excerpt from “If I Didn’t Believe in You.” The show, directed by Mr. Brown, continues through May 12 at Second Stage Theater.

Recent videos include a number from the new Broadway musical “Hands on a Hardbody” sung by the actors Allison Case and Jay Armstrong Johnson, with the composer Trey Anastasio on guitar; and Tina Packer in her Shakespeare-themed show “Women of Will.”

Coming soon: Performances by Nathan Lee Graham of “Hit the Wall,” at the Barrow Street Theater, and Michael Urie of “Buyer & Cellar,” a Rattlestick Playwrights Theater production.
