SEATTLE – The 5th Avenue Theatre announced its 2008-2009 season lineup bursting with seven enormously entertaining musicals, five of which are making their 5th Avenue debuts. The season begins with the exclusive pre-Broadway world premiere of SHREK THE MUSICAL, August 14 – September 21, 2008. The next show is a Seattle premiere: the first national tour of Broadway’s 2006 hit THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, October 28 – November 16, 2008. For the holidays, The 5th Avenue produces the roof-raisin’ classic SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS, December 3 – 28, 2008. The New Year brings a rousing new musical about the birth of rock ‘n’ roll – MEMPHIS, January 27 – February 15, 2009. In the spring, The 5th Avenue stages HELLO, DOLLY! for the first time in 27 years, March 10 – 29, 2009, and Sondheim’s Pulitzer Prize-winning love story SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE makes its 5th Avenue debut April 21 – May 10, 2009. The season closes with the national tour of the one and only (and never before seen at The 5th) GREASE, May 12 – 30, 2009.
