MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET to Launch First Ever UK Tour in Glasgow

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET confirms Glasgow dates 56 years to the day Elvis Presley landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, claimed to be the only place in the United Kingdom he ever set foot.

The Tony Award-winning Broadway musical and West End smash hit is to embark on its first ever UK Tour, coming to the King's Theatre Glasgow on Monday 14 until Saturday 19 November 2016.

Inspired by the true story of the famed recording session where Sam Phillips, the "Father of Rock 'n' Roll" brought together icons Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET includes more than 20 legendary rock 'n' roll hits, including Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog, I Walk The Line and Great Balls of Fire.

On December 4, 1956, history was made when these four young musicians gathered at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest impromptu jam sessions ever. It brings to light the extraordinary story of broken promises, secrets, and the once-in-a-lifetime celebration of four friends that is both poignant and heartwarming.

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary night to life, featuring a score of rock hits which bring you inside the recording studio with four major talents who came together as a red-hot rock 'n' roll band for one unforgettable night.

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is written by Tony Award nominees Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux and produced by Simon Friend and Mark Goucher. Olivier nominated Ian Talbot OBE, renowned for his tenure as both Artistic and Managing director at The Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park directs. Casting is to be announced.

Don't miss your chance to be a fly on the wall of fame and history, and join in the celebration... at MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET!
