Full Casting Announced For The UK And Ireland Tour Of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET
By: Stephi Wild Feb. 04, 2020
Full casting has been announced for the UK and Ireland tour of the worldwide smash-hit musical, Million Dollar Quartet, opening March 2020.
Based on the famous recording session that brought together Rock'n'Roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for the FIRST and ONLY time, Robbie Durham (Johnny Cash), Ross William Wild (Elvis Presley), Matthew Wycliffe (Carl Perkins) and Katie Ray (Dyanne), with the role of Jerry Lee Lewis shared across the tour by Ashley Carruthers, Martin Kaye and Matthew Wycliffe, all return to the stage in their much celebrated roles in this Tony Award winning musical.
The multi-talented cast of actor-musicians join previously announced national treasure Peter Duncan, who also returns to the much loved musical. The Olivier Award nominee and former Blue Peter presenter reprises the role of the Father of Rock'n'Roll', Sam Phillips, following rave reviews for his performance in the musical's 2017 UK tour.
Inspired by a true story and back by popular demand following success on Broadway and in London's West End, the musical opens at Southampton's Mayflower Theatre on Tuesday 10 March, before touring to Southend, Sunderland, Cambridge, Wimbledon, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Dublin, Nottingham, Aylesbury, Bromley, Plymouth, Cheltenham, Salisbury, Bradford and Wolverhampton.
On December 4, 1956, history was made when these four 'star' musicians gathered at Sun Records in Memphis, the studios of legendary record producer Sam Phillips, for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions of all time.
Million Dollar Quartet brings that legendary night to life, with its extraordinary story of broken promises, secrets, and the once-in-a-lifetime celebration of four acclaimed recording artists.
This poignant musical features a score of more than 24 legendary rock hits including Blue Suede Shoes, Fever, That's All Right, Sixteen Tones, Great Balls of Fire, Walk the Line, Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On, Who Do You Love?, Matchbox, Folsom Prison Blues and Hound Dog.
The stage production is written by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux, directed by Olivier Award nominated Ian Talbot OBE, and includes designs by David Farley, lighting by David Howe and sound by Ben Harrison. The UK tour is produced by Mark Goucher, Gavin Kalin and Laurence Myers.
Don't miss your chance to be a fly on the wall of fame and history, and join in the celebration of this red-hot rock 'n' roll band for one unforgettable night!
