āThis was an excellent presentation - fun, upbeat, completely a blast! The cast was full of excitement. I laughed and sang along the whole time, and I ended up on my feet with the rest of the audience, clapping and dancing. If you want a fun and lighthearted night out, go see Million Dollar Quartet!ā
āThis was a fantastic show! The music, the stage, the acting ā all were wonderful! I wasn't bored once and all of the actors were awesome!ā
āI thoroughly enjoyed the performance. It was a great story played out extremely well by the cast. The performers were great in their roles and some of them were truly outstanding musical talents. We had an enjoyable evening and would recommend this show to everyone.ā
Iāve seen this play almost 10 times in diferent teatres taking several family members, friends etcā¦.and always with the same results and compliments about itā¦.love the play and will keep supporting it as people should. Congrats to all the cast, staff, producers writers, etc šš¼š
My wife and I have attended this performance twice at New Stage Theater and this was our first time at Thalia Mara Hall. We love the show and the actors are top notch and give it their all to provide a great performance and entertaining time. The only problem with this performance at Thalia Mara Hall was that the bass was distorted and tended to take the attention away from the other instruments and made it where you couldn't hear the actor's voices very good at times. Highly recommend this to others.
I am not sure that this is an improvement necessary at all venues...I could not hear the dialogue that was delivered while music was playing so I missed a lot. I thought the cast did an excellent job with their portrayal of the music legends.
This was an outstanding production. The actors gave great interpretations of Elvis, Johnny, Carl, and Jerry Lee. Also Sam Phillips was believable. Last time I saw this musical Jerry Lee was the only on who fit the character. I'm ready to see it again!
The actors were fantastic as well as the music. From previous experience we picked a seat closer to the stage and had wonderful seats. I donāt think I sat still during the whole play. My foot was a tapping and I was quietly singing along. Once home I had to look up Sun Records to see what happened to it.
Itās a fast paced show packed with all the best music from these superstars! This is a show I would see again as the story doesnāt get old.
Great venue, talented cast and interesting story behind the music. Thereās not a bad seat in the house. Couldnāt stop watching Jerry Lee Lewis to see what heād pull next. Such a troublemaker!
Best show Iāve ever seen. The experience was unforgettable. I just hope I can see it again.
Great songs performed by very talented actors/singers. Never a dull moment in the show. Wonderful to see in such a nice, intimate theatre. No need to go to Toronto or NYC for high quality entertainment.
Every musician/actor on stage was tremendously talented and gave an outstanding performance. Did not want the show to end. Enjoyed every number they did. Would highly recommend it. Please bring this show back again soon.
This show had it all. The talent on that stage was just amazing. I enjoyed every minute and am going again for the final show. Thank you, Musicalfare , for bringing this show back to be enjoyed all over again. I don't think that everyone realized that all the music is live...no prerecording. Great performances by all, especially Jerry Lee.
The performance was very good. The female singer's voice was fabulous. I saw Million Dollar Quartet several years ago at Shea's Theatre. My reason for a 4-star review and not a 5-star is because, although a very good performance, it was not as good as the performance at Shea's. And, the performer portraying Elvis was very good, but did not sound like Elvis.
The talent of the actors was truly astounding!! They sang and acted and played their own instruments. This show was capitalizing from the start!
We have seen this musical in a different venue and really liked it. This production however was the best one yet! The venue is fantastic for the patrons. It is comfortable and the acoustics are great. The cast in this production brought their best. It was very close to what I imagine the scene would have been in the actual situation. Arianne was fabulous. Her voice is outstanding.
I'm in my early 50's and took my dad to see the show. What an enjoyable experience. We both loved the music, acting and energy this play gives. A definite must on your list of shows to see!!
Great feel great show.First time at Sheas 710 a great place to see a show it looks like not a single bad seat in the house.
The show was absolutely fantastic ... The music was from an era that I remember well and it brought back all of those wonderful memories ... Have to call out whomever played Jerry Lee Lewis for special recognition. The show made for an absolute great evening for my wife and myself. So much today is depressing - the Mission Dollar Quarter made me feel good!!!
Loved the music of my era, of course. I was very pleased with the musical talent of the actors, as well as their instruments. Had us all tapping our feet and swaying to the golden oldies. A really fine production. The "biggest" surprise was the actor who played Sam Philips, head of the studio. He didn't sing, but a commanding presence on the stage and held the story together extraordinarily well. And what a story it was. Very interesting to find out background of the biggest stars of the time, in a time before the internet tells you way more than you need....or want....to know. It ended at 9:15, but it was so uplifting and vibrant we couldn't get to sleep until 12:30. That's a compliment as well.
This was the second time we've seen the Million Dollar Quartet and we were not disappointed. All the performers were back from our last show except for Elvis. Everyone was great. We especially loved Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis's girlfriend. Her voice was phenomenal and probably the best of all. They were all great musicians. This show was memorable! We will see it again and I would recommend it to anyone. Really difficult to not keep your feet tapping and head bobbing.
Great trip down memory lane and the storyline was impressive... get your tickets!
