Set in Memphis, Tennessee on December 4, 1956, the Tony® Award-winning musical harkens back to when Sam Phillips, the "Father of Rock 'n' Roll" - responsible for launching the careers of Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley - brought the four superstars together at the Sun Records storefront studio for the first and only time, resulting in what became known as one of the greatest jam sessions in rock 'n' roll history. As such, the legendary event comes to life on stage with an irresistible telling of broken promises, secrets, betrayal and celebrations that are both poignant and amusing. Relive the era through a rousing score of rock 'n' roll, gospel, R&B and country hits such as: "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; performed by a world-class cast including Cole* (Elvis Presley), John Countryman* (Jerry Lee Lewis), David Elkins* (Johnny Cash), and Michael Monroe Goodman* (Carl Perkins). Featured cast members include Adrienne Visnic (Dyanne), Zachary Ford (Sam Phillips); and musicians Omar D. Brancato* (as Jay Perkins / Bass), and David Lamoureux (as Fluke / drums). *Denotes Members of Actors Equity Association.
"We couldn't be more delighted than to bring MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET back to SoCal audiences," said
T.J. Dawson, Executive Producer and Artistic Director of 3-D Theatricals. "The story and the music are not only exhilarating but a pairing that gets under your skin and leaves you euphoric. The idea of being a fly on the wall during such an extraordinary moment in music history is a natural for audiences' young and old alike."
