“Million Dollar Quartet vividly captures a shining moment in rock history when Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis came together at Sun Studios for a late-night recording session. Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux elevate this stellar show from the trenches of jukebox mediocrity with a simple but well-drawn book that effortlessly provides rich insight into each legend's life, while making sure the music still drives the show. The core cast is full of phenomenal musicians as well as actors, who bang out tunes including Cash's "Folsom City Blues" and Lewis' "Great Balls of Fire." By the end, only one word comes to mind: "encore!"”

Million Dollar Quartet says:
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is the new smash-hit musical inspired by the famed recording session that brought together rock 'n' roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for the first and only time. On December 4, 1956, these four young musicians gathered at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions ever. MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary night to life, bringing you inside the recording studio with four major talents who came together as a red-hot rock 'n' roll band for one unforgettable night.
