Get a first look at  Bill Hanney's award-winning North Shore Music Theatre (NSMT)'s production of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET featuring the music of Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley. The jukebox musical will rock the NSMT stage through Sunday, October 6, 2024.

Set on December 4, 1956, when a twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley together at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions ever. MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary December night to life with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, betrayal, and celebrations that is both poignant and funny. Audiences will relive the era with an incredible score of rock 'n' roll, gospel, R&B, and country hits, performed live onstage by world-class actors and musicians. Showcased hit songs include "Blue Suede Shoes," "Fever," "Walk the Line," "Sixteen Tons," "Who Do You Love?," "Great Balls of Fire," "Folsom Prison Blues," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," "Hound Dog," and more.

The Tony Award-nominated musical features a book by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutux based on an original concept by Floyd Mutux and inspired by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is presented through special arrangement with Theatrical Rights Worldwide.
