“In an extraordinary twist of fate, rock ‘n’ roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins are brought together on a December evening in 1956. This meeting at Sun Records would become one of the greatest jam sessions of all time. Based on a true story, Million Dollar Quartet brings that electrifying occasion to life, featuring a glorious score of rock ‘n’ roll, R&B, and country hits performed live on stage by world-class actors and musicians. Don’t miss this irresistible tale of four legends as they navigate the intricacies of fame and the personal price they pay to live the dream, featuring an incredible score of chart-topping hits including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Walk the Line,” “Great Balls of Fire,” and more!”
