Tony Award-winning Broadway show Million Dollar Quartet is to embark on its first ever UK tour, opening at Leicester Curve on 14 September 2016.
Inspired by the true story of the famed recording session where Sam Phillips, the ‘Father of Rock’n’Roll’ brought together icons Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley, Million Dollar Quartet will play Sheffield Lyceum, Nottingham Theatre Royal, Malvern Festival Theatre, Birmingham Hippodrome, Edinburgh Festival Theatre, Leeds Grand, Glasgow King’s Theatre, Southampton Mayflower and Bristol Hippodrome. Further spring 2017 dates to be announced.
Million Dollar Quartet includes more than 20 legendary rock‘n’roll hits, including ‘Blue Suede Shoes’, ‘Hound Dog’, ‘I Walk The Line’ and ‘Great Balls of Fire’.
On 4 December, 1956, history was made when these four young musicians gathered at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest impromptu jam sessions ever. Million Dollar Quartet brings that legendary night to life, featuring a score of rock hits which bring you inside the recording studio with four major talents who came together as a red-hot rock‘n’roll band for one unforgettable night.
Million Dollar Quartet is written by Tony Award nominees Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux and produced by Simon Friend and Mark Goucher. Olivier nominated Ian Talbot, renowned for his tenure as both artistic and managing director at the Open Air Theatre in Regent’s Park, directs. Casting is to be announced.
