For James Sampliner, musical director for Jason Robert Brown's The Last Five Years, which opens previews May 7 at the Long Wharf, directed by Artistic Director Gordon Edelstein, taking on the assignment is "a major milestone." Sampliner, who will be performing the show eight times a week, conducting from his piano's keyboard, sees the complicated and varied score as both an immense pleasure and a challenge.
