More about the 5th Avenue Shows On Sale
The brilliant Guys & Dolls (plays May 11-June 5, 2011) combines the swinging music of Frank Loesser with Damon Runyon's hilarious stories of the denizens of New York's underworld, including fast-talking Nathan Detroit, his sexy and long-suffering girlfriend Miss Adelaide, the cool and clever gambler Sky Masterson, and the unlikely visitor Sarah Brown, an inner-city missionary unexpectedly swept off her feet by Sky. Featuring such treasured Loesser tunes as "Luck Be A Lady," "Bushel And A Peck," "If I Were A Bell," "Sue Me," and "Sit Down You're Rockin' The Boat," Guys & Dolls is considered to be one of the greatest musicals of all time.
 
The Rodgers and Hammerstein masterpiece Oklahoma! (plays July 8-August 6, 2011) has influenced virtually every piece of musical theatre since its premiere. Set in Oklahoma Territory at the turn of the 20th century, it tells the story of two romances, that of cowboy Curly and spunky farm girl Laurey and their counterparts, the flirtatious Ado Annie and the ever-patient Will Parker. The classic score includes "Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'," "I Cain't Say No," "Surrey with the Fringe on Top," as well as its classic title song.
 
Special thanks to The 5th's 2010-11 season co-sponsors Safeco Insurance and US Bank.
