5th Avenue Theatre2017–2018 Season Tickets

Season tickets include free

parking and all fees, plus free ticket exchange up to 24 hours in advance. Shows include:

Something Rotten!—Set in the 1590s, two brothers set out to write the world’s first musical after a soothsayer foretells that the future of theater involves singing, dancing, and acting.Ragtime—It’s the turn of the century; everything is changing. Set in the volatile melting pot of New York City, three distinct American stories are woven together: an upper-class wife, a deter-mined Jewish immigrant, and a daring, young Harlem musician are united by their desire and belief in a brighter tomorrow. Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn—This wonderful new musical is inspired by the Oscar-winning film and features lavish sets and cos-tumes, spectacular choreography, and 20 Irving Berlin songs. Jim leaves the bright lights of show business to settle down on a farm, but he finds the simple life is not as simple as he thought. Intermission! The Musical!—Jerry Zucker, the master of wacky comedies including cinematic sensations Airplane! and The Naked Gun, directs this story of two dim-witted brothers who receive an e-mail claiming that money has been left to them by a relative they never knew. They each fall in love, get caught up in a military coup, join a band of revolutionaries, and have to save the country. Ride the Cyclone—At 8:17 p.m., the Saint Cassian High School Chamber Choir boards the Cyclone roller coaster. At 8:19, they meet their tragic demise. Trapped in carnival-like purgatory, the recently deceased discover a mechanical fortune-teller who invites them to tell their stories of life interrupted, with the promise of a prize like no other.Kiss Me, Kate—This Tony Award-winning masterpiece set the standard for great musicals and then broke the mold. This sparkly sensation is, at its core, a true battle of the sexes. The Hunchback of Notre Dame—A retelling of Victor Hugo’s mas-terpiece, this tale of love, faith, and prejudice will leave you spell-bound.
