Broadway Hit MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET Comes to the Grand This Weekend

This electrifying Broadway musical is the true story of the famed recording session that brought together rock 'n' roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins for the first and only time. On December 4, 1956, with the holidays just around the corner, chart-topper Presley, a then unknown Lewis, rising star Cash and up-and-comer Perkins are called together by producer and manager Sam Phillips at Sun Records in Memphis. In the rocking hour that follows, Phillips' roster of extraordinary musical talent shows why and how they became four of the biggest names in music history. The hit score includes legendary hits such as "Fever," "That's All Right," "Sixteen Tons," "Great Balls of Fire," "Walk the Line," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," "Folsom Prison Blues," "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Hound Dog." This is the music that made memories that are as vibrant today as they were in the 50s.
