Million Dollar Quartet is difficult to categorize. Billed as a musical, it is unlike almost any musical playing because it takes place over an extremely short time span and features a small cast of characters.

One thing is certain, when Million Dollar Quartet stopped in Des Moines last week, audiences were dancing in the aisles.
