Get a first look at the cast on stage in the photos below!

Inspired by one fortuitous day that still resonates in the timeline of rock-and-roll history, the Tony Award-nominated Broadway hit MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET--now playing at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa through May 6--is a genuinely enjoyable, musically-rich stage show that's high on marquee value but, as expected, quite lacking when it comes to having a viable narrative. It's a rousing old school concert disguised as musical theater--a forgivable sin thanks to the amazing performances turned in by four actors impersonating legends Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis.

The Oxygen Network has just announced that they will capture Caroline D' Amore's life on a new reality show aptly named, 'That's D' Amore'. Although still in development, the show will center on Caroline and her two sisters as they attempt to 'keep it real in a not always so real town'. Refreshingly, her family's story of rags-to-riches will feature prominently in the backdrop, expounding on the journey from a single struggling pizzeria to eleven highly successful restaurants, the most recent of which just opened in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood's Miracle Mile shopping district; an amazing feat for a company still family owned and operated. In line with her meteoric rise to international stardom, Caroline's creative focus is geared toward Hollywood glamour, having made guest appearances on television shows such as, 'Entourage' and '90210', and performing in films including, 'Sorority Row', “Daydreamer' and 'Pizza with Bullets' which she won a best supporting actress award at The Angeles Film Festival.
