The world premiere of Five Flights Up was performed by Dayton Ballet on April 23, 1998, in Dayton, Ohio at the Victoria Theatre.

Five Flights Up (A Vaudeville In Five Acts) is a festive ballet that its choreographer Stephen Mills describes as a vaudeville act in five dances. Music from the Squirrel Nut Zippers lends a flavor of kitsch to this jazzy ballet, filled with delightful slapstick and plenty of fun.
