Inspired by a true story, this rockin\u2019 tribute captures the high-energy spirit and explosive excitement of this surprising, once-in-a-lifetime event where four of music\u2019s most legendary talents came together for one night only. In this intimate setting, the audience actually feels like they\u2019re on set at Sun Records in Memphis where Sam Phillips created one of the greatest jam sessions ever. Funny and poignant, Million Dollar Quartet<\/em> brings this legendary December night to life along with broken promises, secrets, and betrayal.<\/p>\n

The musical score features an incredible collection of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, gospel, R&B, and country greats, performed live onstage by world-class actors and musicians. Hit songs include: \u201cBlue Suede Shoes,\u201d \u201cFever,\u201d \u201cWalk the Line,\u201d \u201cSixteen Tons,\u201d \u201cWho Do You Love?,\u201d \u201cGreat Balls of Fire,\u201d \u201cFolsom Prison Blues,\u201d \u201cWhole Lotta Shakin\u2019 Goin\u2019 On,\u201d \u201cHound Dog,\u201d and more.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the actors who make the music come alive. Christopher J. Essex stars as Johnny Cash and he\u2019s got the moves, the guitar-pickin’, and the voice to recreate Cash himself. Elvis Presley is played by Rustin Cole Sailors with verve and innocence. Shaun Whitley is great as Carl Perkins looking for his next big hit. But it\u2019s Nat Zegree as Jerry Lee Lewis who steals the show. He\u2019s got the piano-playing chops, the energy to hit the keys on top of the piano, and a whole lotta sass. David Folsom is perfect as Sam Philips who recognizes talent when he sees it and Laura Savage is Elvis\u2019 singing sensation girlfriend Dyanne.The show is under the expert direction of James Moye, joined by Jeff Award-winning Musical Director Ryan T. Nelson.<\/p>\n
