I had a post like this years ago which linked to YouTube videos which have all since been taken down :( Luckily I’d saved all the videos myself so here’s a bunch of download links!!
Original Off-Broadway Cast [2002]: Sherie Rene Scott and Norbert Leo Butz.
Each song is its own video (it was originally a playlist) and the download also includes a bonus vid of Norbert performing the cut song, I Could Be In Love With Someone Like You, which was replaced in the show with Shiksa Goddess. Video quality is as to be expected for 2002.
Off-Broadway Revival Cast [2013]: Betsy Wolfe and Adam Kantor.
Originally five parts which I spliced together into one. Some lyric changes from the original. The movie version used these lyrics with minor changes. Video quality is quite good. ***MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE CAST
New Haven Cast [2014]: Katie Rose Clarke and Adam Halpin.
In two parts. The staging for this version is amazing. Video quality is very, very good.
Please like or reblog if you download. Thank you and enjoy!

I don’t know why people run
I don’t know why things fall through
I don’t know how anybody survives in this life
without someone like you {x}.
Jonathan Bailey and Samantha Barks during curtain call at the press night of The Last Five Years. — “It’s a strange experience to watch this show, because when they do it well it really hurts. So I get exhilarated watching they nail it and then, at the same time, they’re nailing it and it feels terrible. The two of them [Barks and Bailey] are so open emotionally and to watch them expose themselves and to just share themselves with these characters that way it’s a very moving experience for me.” Jason Robert Brown

Musical theatre songs appreciation:
Still Hurting (The Last Five Years) performed by Cynthia Erivo (video)Maybe there’s somewhere a lesson to learn
But that wouldn’t change the fact
That wouldn’t speed the time
Once the foundation’s cracked
And I’m still hurting
I don’t know why people run. I don’t know why things fall through. I don’t know how anybody survives in this life without someone like you.
