One Night in Memphis at Perry Pavilion

Presented by Virginia Arts Festival   

December 4, 1956: Four musicians destined to be seminal pioneers of popular music – Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash – gathered, impromptu, in a recording studio in Memphis. The no-holds-barred jam that ensued was captured live on tape and became the inspiration for the Broadway hit Million Dollar Quartet. Now, One Night in Memphis captures that historic session, performed live and starring former cast members of the Broadway smash. We dare you to sit still in this rocking show jam-packed with rockabilly, country, gospel and 1950’s rock and roll hits like “Hound Dog,” “Shake, Rattle & Roll,” “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “I Walk the Line,” and more! "A live, hard charging rock and roll romp!" (The Daily Herald).
