The American Theatre Guild will present the heartwarming holiday musical, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET CHRISTMAS. This production will open the 23–24 AMEREN ILLINOIS BROADWAY IN PEORIA SERIES at the Peoria Civic Center November 28–29, 2023.
Members of the original Million Dollar Quartet team, Tony-nominated book writer Colin Escott and original orchestrator Chuck Mead, reunite with 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 design team for MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET CHRISTMAS includes scenic design by dots, lighting design by Ryan J. O'Gara, sound design by Diego Garzón, costume design by Izumi Inaba, and prop design by Douglas Clarke. The production is general managed by Evan Bernardin Productions and 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.
