MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET CHRISTMAS to Launch Multi-City Tour
The tour launches in Wilmington, DE November 17th.
By: Chloe Rabinowitz Oct. 24, 2023
The heartwarming holiday musical, Million Dollar Quartet Christmas, returns with a multi-city national tour beginning Friday, November 17, 2023 at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Delaware. The tour, now in its third year, reunites members of the original Million Dollar Quartet team, including Tony-nominated book writer Colin Escott, original music supervisor and orchestrator Chuck Mead, and director Scott Weinstein for this new musical holiday celebration.
In Million Dollar Quartet Christmas rock ‘n' roll newcomers, and soon to be legends, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley come together again to celebrate the holidays. Inspired by the true story of their December 1956 homecoming at Sun Records, this heartwarming rock n' roll musical rings with sounds of the season and the chart toppers that made the Million Dollar Quartet famous. The gang is up to their usual antics as we journey through stories of Christmas past, present, and future in a joyful evening filled with nostalgic holiday hits including “Run Rudolph Run,” “Jingle Bell Rock,” “I'll Be Home For Christmas,” and more.
The cast of Million Dollar Quartet Christmas will include Alex Swindle as Elvis, Bill Scott Sheets as Johnny Cash, Garrett Forrestal as Jerry Lee Lewis, Kurt Jenkins as Carl Perkins, Kathleen Macari as Dyanne, Peter Kendall as Sam Phillips, Nathan Yates Douglass as Brother Jay, and Sean Preece as Fluke, along with understudies Brynn Smith-Jenkins, Jonathan Acorn, and Michael Potter.
The design team for Million Dollar Quartet Christmas includes scenic design by dots, lighting design by Ryan J. O'Gara, sound design by Diego Garzón, and costume design by Izumi Inaba. The production's General Manager is Evan Bernardin Productions and is booked by Broadway & Beyond Theatricals / BBT.
Million Dollar Quartet Christmas received its world premiere in 2021 at The Phoenix Theatre Company, ahead of a National Tour that same year.
A Million Dollar Quartet Christmas cast album, including all of the nostalgic chart-topping holiday hits from the musical as well as an additional 4 non-holiday bonus tracks, is now available everywhere music is streaming.
