STAGE TUBE: AMERICAN IDOL's Taylor Hicks Jams with MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET
"American Idol" winner and Paris Las Vegas headliner Taylor Hicks joined the cast of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET at Harrah's Las Vegas for an on-stage jam session, performing the Buddy Holly classic "Not Fade Away." Click below to watch a clip from the performance!
Immediately following the final number of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, Taylor was welcomed to the stage by Marc D. Donovan (Sam Phillips) to an enthusiastic response from the packed Showroom. Jamming on stage with the talented performers of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, the performance brought together two of the most talented musical acts on The Strip in a rocking one-night-only performance.
Taylor is the second guest performer to join the Las Vegas company on stage at Harrah's. In August, Bally's Las Vegas headliner Véronic joined the cast to perform a phenomenal rendition of the Johnny Cash and June Carter duet "Jackson."
The Tony Award Winning musical, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET takes place on December 4, 1956, when Sam Phillips, the "Father of Rock 'n' Roll," brought iconic musicians Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins together at the Sun Records storefront studio in Memphis for the first and only time.
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary December night to life with the extraordinary story of secrets, betrayal, and the once in a lifetime celebration of four friends that is both poignant and funny. Relive the era with the smash-hit sensation featuring an incredible score of rock 'n' roll, gospel, R&B and country hits, performed live onstage by world-class actors and musicians. Showcased hit songs include: "Blue Suede Shoes," "I Walk the Line," "Great Balls of Fire,""Sixteen Tons," "Who Do You Love?," "Fever," "Folsom Prison Blues," "Hound Dog," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," "Ring of Fire," and more.
