MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET ON TOUR:
Hot on the heels of its Broadway run, rock and roll musical Million Dollar Quartet is on the road to tell the story of the fateful meeting between Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash at an impromptu jam session in December of 1956. The musical focuses on these newcomers before they became icons, gathered for a rare collaboration at Sun Studios in Memphis. The cast brilliantly portrays the original performers while playing each timeless track with perfection and ease. Million Dollar Quartet will have fans all shook up this summer with their red-hot 2014 tour dates.

by Saranacsue on 4/15/15Stephens Auditorium - AmesThe show has a simple premise. One night in December 1956, four soon-to-be legends of rock n roll meet up at Sun Studios and end up making history with a little jam session. Sam Phillips, the founder of Sun Records, dubbed them The Million Dollar Quartet. This little quartet consisted of Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis. The show is a fun walk down memory lane with wonderful music and a little bit of a history lesson thrown in for good measure. I enjoyed it from start to finish. The entire cast was wonderful. If the show comes to a town near you, don't miss it!

by lilbeast1968 on 4/15/15Stephens Auditorium - AmesIt's the story of an amazing night where four incredible musicians came together at Sun Record on December 4, 1956. I loved how they tied the music and the story together with insight and humor sprinkled throughout.

by HiltonMagic411 on 4/15/15Stephens Auditorium - AmesThis show was fabulous! The four main characters were outstanding. I would highly recommend it to everyone of all ages. The only thing I'd recommend is that it should be longer... 1 hr 45 mins wasn't enough!
Rating: 4 out of 5 Very entertaining and high energy
by jerr on 2/21/15Emens Auditorium - MuncieFourth time I have seen Million Dollar Quartet. Twice in Vegas (the best), once in Indy and now Muncie. Seemed the mic for the Elvis character did not always work the best so his performance was a bit below expectations. GREAT actor for Johnny Cash and high energy performance by the actor for Jerry Lee Lewis. Then there is the Carl Perkins character. Always seems to be the least featured but a great, great guitar player and performer. Highly recommend this show and so very glad we took our daughter and her friend to see it for the first time. They had a great time too.

by Dgooty on 2/19/15State Theatre - New BrunswickGreat music and interesting story. I did not know much of the true life story that inspired the musical. Also did not realize how many great songs Carl Perkins had recorded.

by cptsned on 2/17/15State Theatre - New BrunswickThis show is an oustanding musical performance. Entertaining and first rate in every song throughout the performance. Any rock n roll fan of any age needs to see MDQ.. The songs are riveting and the show is one of the best I have seen in a while. Can't think of abetter palce to see this than the NJ State Theater in New Brunswick but i would not miss this anywhere. If I get the cahnce I will be seeing a return engagement somewhere..you can't beat Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis playing in the same room.. the finally had everyone on theri feet dancing and singing along..
