Four of the biggest names in music walked into the Sun Record Studios in Memphis on December 4, 1956 and delivered an impromptu jam session. The Million Dollar Quartet, as it became dubbed, captured the once-in-a-lifetime recording session with Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash. Million Dollar Quartet tickets relives that momentous occasion before a live audience at the Nederlander Theatre on Broadway.
This piece of history, rock and roll, and musical theater earned three 2010 Tony Award nominations – Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Performance by a featured Actor in a Musical for Levi Kreis's portrayal of Jerry Lee Lewis. Eddie Clendening joins Kreis on stage as Elvis Presley, Lance Guest stars as Johnny Cash, Rob Lyons plays Carl Perkins, and Hunter Foster is Sam Phillips, the producer fortunate to witness the event.
Million Dollar Quarter began its musical run at the Seaside Music Theatre in Florida and the Village Theatre in Seattle before heading to Chicago for a limited engagement at the Apollo Theater. On April 11, 2010 the Million Dollar Quartet finally made its way to Broadway.
