"Due to the great demand for tickets, we have added two additional performances to our run of Million Dollar Quartet," says Jon R. Moses, Managing Director, COO of the Theatre. "While we cannot extend the run beyond the close date of January 21st, we've been able to add a performance to week two and week three of the run."

The added performances are: Sunday, January 14th at 7:30 pm and Thursday, January 18th at 2pm. With the added shows, the second and third week each have nine performances.

Million Dollar Quartet is the Tony Award-winning musical that takes audiences back to December 4, 1956, when an extraordinary twist of fate brought Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins together in what became one of the most memorable nights in music. Based around that historical event, the musical recounts how these legends ended up in the same room at Sun Records in Memphis for one of the greatest impromptu rock 'n' roll jam sessions in history.

For this production Noel Carey will be understudying for the role of Jerry Lee Lewis and Sam Sherwood will be understudying for the roles of Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley.
