Elf, the grown-up comedy about a misfit toymaker, premiered on Broadway during the holiday 2010 season.

It will run Nov. 30-Dec. 31.

Bill Berry will stage the Tony-winning audience favorite The Music Man, Meredith Willson's tale of a musical con-man, which will run Feb. 7-March 10, 2013.

The 5th Avenue will align with A Contemporary Theatre to stage the Tony-nominated musical Grey Gardens, about the eccentric Beales of East Hampton, which has a book by Doug Wright and a score by Scott Frankel (music) and Michael Korie (lyrics). It will run March 16-May 26, 2013.

Also planned is Gilbert and Sullivan's romantic operetta The Pirates of Penzance, directed by David Armstrong, which will close the season July 11-Aug. 4, 2013.
