For The 5th, he brought a formula of producing and presenting musicals that grew a 12,000 person subscription to 30,000 in a three year period. He was a producer, presenter, director, conductor, musician and actor. He was a business partner, a colleague and a friend for 25 years. He was an inspiration, a kind and brilliant person and a man who was widely respected in the musical theater industry. Frank Young lived and breathed musical theater and I will miss him.” – Marilynn Sheldon, Founding Managing Director of The 5th Avenue Theatre “My life was changed immeasurably when Frank hired me to direct a production of The Secret Garden at The 5th Avenue Theatre in 1999. That acclaimed production began a process that culminated in me moving to Seattle to become The 5th’s first full time artistic director. In October, I had the honor of re- mounting The 5th’s 2017 production of The Secret Garden at TUTS. On the second day of rehearsal, I learned Frank had died. It was sad, but also comforting to be working on this particular show at the theater company that Frank had founded nearly 50 years ago. Frank had a tremendous impact on so many people involved in American musical theater. The 5th Avenue Theatre would not be what it is today without his vision and abilities.” – David Armstrong, Executive Producer & Artistic Director of The 5th Avenue Theatre 6 THE 5TH AVENUE THEATRE GREAT MUSICALS ARE BORN HERE THE 5TH AVENUE THEATRE 2017 18 SEASON % 5-SHOW PACKAGES SAVE 40 NOW AVAILABLE IRVING BERLIN’S RIDE THE CYCLONE THE HUNCHBACK HOLIDAY INN MARCH 10 - MAY 20, 2018 OF NOTRE DAME NOVEMBER 24 - DECEMBER 31, 2017 JUNE 1 - 24, 2018 MAMMA MIA!

While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that.
