Fulton Theatre Presents MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET

The Fulton Theatre in association with Maine State Music Theatre is excited to bring to the stage, Million Dollar Quartet! The electrifying story of how 4 stars made music history!

Elvis Presley ... Johnny Cash ... Jerry Lee Lewis ... Carl Perkins, a historic quartet, brought together by an extraordinary twist of fate on a December evening in 1956. This meeting at Sun Records would become one of the greatest jam sessions ever! Based on a true story, Million Dollar Quartet brings that momentous occasion to vibrant life with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, betrayal and celebrations that is both poignant and funny. Relive the era through the Billboard genres of rock 'n' roll, gospel, R&B and country, with an unbelievable score and unforgettable numbers that every generation knows, including "Blue Suede Shoes," "Fever," "Walk the Line," "Great Balls of Fire," "Folsom Prison Blues," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," "Hound Dog," and many more.

Based on the book by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux, Million Dollar Quartet first premiered on Broadway in 2010 and went on to be nominated for three Tony Awards, winning one of them.
