Paramount Theatre's immersive musical Million Dollar Quartet wrapped its spring run at downtown Aurora's Stolp Island Theatre this past weekend. Tickets are already on sale for the show's return, October 7, 2026-January 3, 2027.
This will mark the fall and holiday season comeback of Paramount's radically unique restaging of one of the most popular jukebox musicals of all time. Paramount's Stolp Island Theatre is located at 5 E. Downer Place, Suite G, in downtown Aurora, with restaurants and easy, affordable parking just a short walk away.
Performance times are Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., and Sunday at 1 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Exceptions: No show Thursday, November 26 (Thanksgiving). Added matinee Friday, November 27 at 2 p.m. No shows December 24 or 25 (Christmas Eve and Christmas). Show time Thursday, December 31 (New Year's Eve) is at 2 p.m.
Both the theater and the show were custom built to create an intimate, jukebox musical experience like none before, inventively staged inside a replica of the original Sun Records studio in Memphis.
It was there, on December 4, 1956, where Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins famously came together to record one of the most historic jam sessions in rock ‘n' roll history. In Paramount's Sun Records, the musical delivers incredible, up-close live performances of some of the best songs in rock ‘n' roll history, including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “I Walk the Line,” “Hound Dog” and “Great Balls of Fire.”
Million Dollar Quartet inaugurated Paramount's new Stolp Island Theatre with great fanfare in July 2024. Dean Richards, WGN-TV/AM, said it was “like stepping into Sun Records where one special night took place." Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune, called it “another example of how much the success of the nonprofit, audience-focused Paramount has transformed the center of Aurora into a live entertainment destination.”
