In the late ‘60s, a little known vocal group named The 5th Dimension recorded a song called “Up, Up and Away,” which turned out to be one of the biggest smash hits in musical history. The single won several Grammy Awards, the group catapulted to stardom and their story has been one of success ever since. The 5th Dimension has released more than a dozen hit albums and received 14 Gold records, six Platinum records and six Grammy Awards. Their classics include such hits as “One Less Bell To Answer” and “Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In”. Featuring a pop, R&B, soul and jazz repertoire, the iconic group will be in concert singing all the upbeat songs that were the soundtrack of a generation at The Ridgefield Playhouse on Friday, May 29, at 8 p.m. An AllShows.com VIP Party Pass ($50 addt'l per person), which includes a Meet and Greet with the band, pre-show cocktail party 6:30 – 7:15 p.m. with open bar, hors-d’oeuvre and priority parking is available for this show. Bernard’s (20 West Lane, Ridgefield) will offer a special prix-fixe menu when tickets are presented. This event is underwritten by Transworld Business Advisors of Fairfield County and is part of the xfinity Rock Series.
The 5th Dimension was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2002 and has a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame (2010).
