Million Dollar Quartet arrives in New York after an acclaimed run at Chicago's Apollo Theatre.

Inspired by the famed December 4, 1956, recording session that brought together rock icons Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley, Million Dollar Quartet recreates the historic day in the Memphis Sun Records studio that brought together Presley, Cash, Lewis and Perkins. A recording exists of the impromptu jam session that happened once newly-famous Presley and Cash stopped by to see Perkins doing some recording with Lewis on piano. Million Dollar Quartet includes some of the actual songs that were performed on the day as well as standards for the quartet including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Who Do You Love?,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “I Walk the Line,” “Folsom Prison Blues” and “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On.”

The rock legends will be played by Eddie Clendening (as Elvis Presley), Lance Guest (as Johnny Cash), Levi Kreis (as Jerry Lee Lewis) and Rob Lyons (as Carl Perkins), all of whom originated their roles in Million Dollar Quartet’s Chicago production. Joining them for the Broadway run will be Hunter Foster as Sam Phillips and Elizabeth Stanley as Dyanne.

Million Dollar Quartet features sets by Derek McLane, lighting by Howell Binkley, costumes by Jane Greenwood, sound design by Kai Harada and musical arrangements and supervision by Chuck Mead.
