There are more than five, but here are perhaps the best known: West Side Story (Romeo and Juliet), The Boys of Syracuse (Comedy of Errors), and Kiss Me Kate (Taming of the Shrew).
Also The Boys are Coming Home (Much Ado), Like You Like It (As You Like It, which is practically a musical to start with), Play On! (Twelfth Night), The Two Gentlemen of Verona (a musical with the same name as the play), Catch My Soul (Othello). And that doesn't count the innumerable operas based on Shakespeare's Plays.

Dividing plays into acts, specifically five acts, was a printing convention of the time. They thought they were imitating the divisions of classical plays.

They didn't have any intervals at the Globe, because there was no reason for them. People couldn't take bathroom breaks because there were no bathrooms. At the Blackfriars, however, the lighting was by candlelight, and so they needed four brief intervals to trim and change the candles as required.

Yes, more often than not. The ten tragedies turned out badly, and so did a couple of the histories, Richard II and Richard III in particular. Troilus and Cressida does not end happily.
