As BroadwayWorld had previously reported, the UK is abuzz with talks of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET making its way across the pond. The show's official UK website seems to validate the rumors, as casting calls for the roles of Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley have been announced in Glasgow, London, Liverpool, Bristol, and Dublin. No word as to whether or not the show is West End-bound specifically or if any of the original Broadway cast members will be making the move.

UK Theatre Site WhatsOnStage.com is reporting the buzz that MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET might be headed to the West End in 2011 with talks underway. There's no word at the current time on potential opening dates or whether or on what cast members might be headed over.
