FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
“This 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!”
“This was a fantastic show! The music, the stage, the acting — all were wonderful! I wasn't bored once and all of the actors were awesome!”
“I 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.”
The show was two hours of non stop happiness! It made me laugh and grin from ear to ear from the first moment to the last note! It was hard not to believe that I wasn't really watching Elvis, Jerry, Johnny, and Carl come alive! It was easy to see that the entire audience was taken back to 1956!
I've seen quite a few Broadway plays, but this one was unforgettable. Even if you aren't fond of the music of that era, the characters' talent will draw you in and have you dancing in the aisles by the end of the night! This is a show I would be more than happy to see a second and third time.
This play was very good, and the cast was very talented, especially the actor that played Jerry Lee Lewis. He really livened up the first half. The second half was amazing. It was like a mini concert. I loved the idea of no intermission. that was a great idea.
if it wasn't for Jerry lee lewis's character the play was awful......what was with that Elvis? the worst........
The Million Dollar Quartet was the highlight of our 2 days in Chicago.
Singers were excellently matched to respective artists and story line though superficial fit well into play. Loved Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis and marveled how close Johnny Cash singer was to the real Johnny Cash (though he looked like Babe Ruth). CArl Perkins guitar playing was excellent as well. Still wondering how lady singer fit in though likley good for play, not original event.
Excellent, upbeat show! We enjoyed every minute! Can't wait to see it again!
If only the original quartet had recorded that night! The play was so enjoyable. The cast really had us thinking they were the real Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis and Carl Perkins. The musicianship and voices of the cast members were amazing.
I absolutely loved this show! The musicians talents were far and away for any other show I have seen! It was a surprise anniversary gift to my husband and he was crazy for it too.
To begin, the reason we went was beause a number of people recommended the show. I thought it was something my mother, who is in her 70's, would enjoy. Needless to say, what a fun show. Every single cast member was exceptional... the talent was second to none. They not only sang but played the musical instruments. There were 7 people in our group ages ranging from 32 - 75. Each one of us walked out of there and said we loved it. You don' t have to have grown up with this music, most of us have heard it and know the artists to appreciate the story. I wouldn't take a 7 year old, but a young adult I believe would enjoy it very much. The venue at Apollo is small. We sat center section in the 2nd to the last row (H). The seats were perfect. Last row in Section 3 looked like the perfect place also because those seats offered even more leg room. I would not sit in the far right or far left sections because some of the seats you would be looking at their backs. The 3 middle sections are great. I would see this show again.
Amazing musical, enjoyed every minute of the show ! Perfect preformance in every way.
I can't say enough about the play. The actors were soo talented and extremely handsome and funny. The musicians, along with the singers brought down the house. It was the best play I ever saw so far. recommend it highly...
music that gets you off your seat!! loud and wildly active!!
