“Five on Fire,” which opened April 14 and runs through June 4 at the Cabaret, is a world premiere. But it moves so smoothly and efficiently that it feels like a musical that worked out the kinks in previous runs. Unusual for a first-ever show, “Fire” is a production that should move on to future venues. Complimenting the performances, “Fire” also burns hot because of its staging, lighting and choreography.
