THE BEST!! Great music, talented musicians / actors. So much fun.....clapping my hands & stomping my feet! Couldn't stop humming "See you later alligator" the next day. BRAVO - MDQ! Coming back to see you on Sunday!
That show was the best ever!!!! Music, staf, performance, everything was perfect. Loved it!!!! I also took and old friend with me and she said that took her to her old time when she was younger. She also said that would go again to see the show. We love all staff but we think the guy at the piano did an excellent job!!!! Ricky
I had seen this show in LasVegas a few years ago and loved it but this performance was much better. Much more detail, the music was better, the performers were great and it was a joy.....would love to see it again.
Fabulous show. The musicians are the show...not the music.
The show was funny and entertaining. Never a dull moment! I also learned a lot of facts I hadn't known before this, so very informative as well. we really enjoyed it!!
As an Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash fan, I was intrigued by the opportunity to see the Broadway production of the Million Dollar Quartet at the Coronado Performing Arts Center in Rockford IL on January 17, 2019. Fully expecting to be mesmerized by the two artists I find so influential to my musical interests, I found myself constantly watching “Jerry Lee” and his antics on the stage. Not that there was anything wrong with the performance of the other artists, they were each extremely talented. But “Jerry Lee” definitely stole the show. I look forward to my next opportunity to see this production.
This show will put a smile on your face from beginning to end. The familiar music was great to sing a long to. Never saw my husband smile so much!
It was a very entertaining show. Talented musicians playing the parts!
We absolutely loved Million Dollar Quartet. The musicians/actors were fabulous. From beginning to end the music was incredible and the energy from the cast had the sold out crowd enchanted.
Very entertaining! All the characters gave great performances from the singing to the instrument playing to the acting.
All performers did a superb job of portraying the characters they were playing (Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, record producer Sam Phillips, Elvis's friend Dyanne, Carl's brother Jay, and drummer Fluke). The play was historically informative and entertaining. It must be difficult to cast a play with characters that are well known and musically talented; but this production of Million Dollar Quartet pulled together a cast that portrayed their characters as if they were in fact the talented artists they were portraying. Especially noteworthy was Billy Rude who played Jerry Lee Lewis. His portrayal of the irreverent young pianist was exceptional both in theatrical performance and musical talent.
This is my second time seeing Million Dollar Quartet, and this one was by far the best! The cast and music were exceptional. I love Jerry Lee Lewis!!!!! So much fun!!!! The cast made a point of facing the audience and talking loud enough for us older folks to hear. Great job!!!!
This was a good presentation. I loved it. The sound could have been a bit louder. But maybe it was the venue. I'd see this again. And Jerry Lee Lewis...crazy.
Great performance - lots of energy Great seats - lower balcony - center - on aisle Great night - everything was great for date night
A great performance. The music was amazing and the cast members really emulated their characters very well. Jerry Lee Lewis kind of steals the show with his amazing and unbelievable piano playing skills. Definitely work seeing. You will be dancing in your seat, guaranteed.
High energy! Love the music and story! A must see show!
I wasn't sure what to expect, but it exceeded my expectations. Awesome show and the next morning, I still wanted to hear more so found a station on satellite radio to keep the rock and rolling going!
Loved the Show. Saw this show for the third time and is still great.
I have had the pleasure of seeing this show when it opened in New York and then later in Memphis when it was touring. It has an easy stage set up and was ideal for a Tupelo Production. Other than a late start, I could find nothing that was not satisfactory.
We really enjoyed the show. Some of the acting was a little over the top. The Jerry Lee Lewis character reminded me more of Ernest T. Bass from the Andy Griffith show but I was able to overlook that and enjoy the music which was outstanding.
