MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET To Sign Cast Album & Perform Live At Barnes And Noble 6/22

The cast of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, the new hit Broadway musical, will perform live and be on hand to sign copies of the Original Broadway Cast album tomorrow, June 22 starting at 4 PM at the Lincoln Center Barnes & Noble (1972 Broadway, between West 66th Street and West 67th Street).

The event is free and open to the public with priority seating being given to audience members who purchase a cast recording on site.

The entire cast of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET will be on hand for the performance and subsequent CD signing: 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/drummer).

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," "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.
