Synopsis

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is the Tony® Award-nominated musical that takes you inside the legendary jam session that took place on December 4, 1956, when Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley® came together at Sun Records in Memphis for an unforgettable night of music. This incredible true story brings to life the magic of that fateful evening, filled with broken promises, secrets, betrayal, and unforgettable celebrations, all wrapped in a mix of poignant and humorous moments.

Relive the era with a score of smash-hits that blend gospel, R&B, country, and, of course, rock ‘n’ roll. Ideally suited for actor-musicians, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET features iconic hits like “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Walk the Line,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “Hound Dog,” and more. This thrilling musical is an exhilarating celebration of the music that shaped a generation and the infamous night when four legends made history.
