Last night, Etheridge took the stage of the Nederlander Theatre (208 West 41st Street) to join the cast with special performances of "Ball and Chain" and "Trouble."

Etheridge, whose latest album Fearless Love was recently released on Island Records to widespread acclaim, made her Broadway debut at the Nederlander Theatre (208 West 41st Street) with this performance.

Etheridge was joined on stage by Eddie Clendening (Elvis Presley), Lance Guest (Johnny Cash), Tony Award winner Levi Kreis (Jerry Lee Lewis), Robert Britton Lyons (Carl Perkins), Tony Award® nominee Hunter Foster (Little Shop of Horrors, Urinetown), Elizabeth Stanley (Cry-Baby), Corey Kaiser (Jay Perkins/bass player), and Larry Lelli (Fluke/drums).

On December 4, 1956, an auspicious twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley together. The place was Sun Records' storefront studio in Memphis. The man who made it happen was Sam Phillips, the "Father of Rock and Roll," who discovered them all. The four young musicians united for the only time in their careers for an impromptu recording that has come to be known as one of the greatest rock jam sessions of all time.

Inspired by the actual event, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET features a treasure trove of the greatest rock and roll, gospel, R&B and country hits from these musicians, including such iconic songs as "Blue Suede Shoes," "Fever," "Sixteen Tons," "Who Do You Love?," "Great Balls of Fire," "Riders in the Sky," "I Walk the Line," "Folsom Prison Blues," and "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On." MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET captures the infectious spirit, freewheeling excitement and thrilling sounds of a singular moment when four of the music industry's most extraordinary talents, all in their creative prime, came together for one of the most memorable nights in music history.

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is directed by Eric Schaeffer and features a book by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux. The design team for Broadway includes: Derek McLane (scenic design), Howell Binkley (lighting design), Jane Greenwood (costume design), Kai Harada (sound design) and Chuck Mead (musical arrangements and supervision).

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is produced by Relevant Theatricals, John Cossette Productions, American Pop Anthology, Broadway Across America, and James L. Nederlander.

Melissa Etheridge has been a core Island Records artist since the release of her critically-acclaimed eponymous RIAA multi-platinum debut album. For several years, Melissa's popularity built around such memorable songs as "Bring Me Some Water," "Like The Way I Do," and "Ain't It Heavy," for which she won her first Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal.

Melissa hit her commercial and artistic stride with her fourth album, Yes I Am, featuring the massive hits "I'm the Only One" and "Come to My Window," a searing song of longing that brought her second Best Female Rock Grammy. The album went six times platinum and spent more than two and a half years on the album chart. Her highest charting album to date, Your Little Secret, included the hit single, "I Want to Come Over." In February 2007, she celebrated a career milestone when she won an Oscar® in the Best Original Song category at the 79th Annual Academy Awards® for "I Need To Wake Up," written for the Al Gore documentary on global warming, An Inconvenient Truth. Etheridge released her tenth studio album, Fearless Love, on April 27th. www.MelissaEtheridge.com.
