In order to keep the business alive, Charlie partners with a drag queen named Lola to produce heels that can withstand the weight of a male figure.

BWW Review: MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET at Arvada Center
I’ve always had a soft spot for the songs of yesteryear. Jukebox musicals usually leave me in a happy place by the time the show ends. In the case of Million Dollar Quartet at Arvada, this show left me feeling the same way I felt from the moment it started - joyful.
