In casting Million Dollar Quartet, the smash hit musical that recounts the impromptu jam session where these four legends met, The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis had big shoes to fill. But in assembling its own quartet of rising musical theatre powerhouses, The Rep has brought together a group that captures the charisma of these legends. Featuring a book by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux, with original concept and direction by Mutrux and directed at The Rep by Hunter Foster, Million Dollar Quartet runs March 15 - April 9, 2017 on the Browning Mainstage of the Loretto-Hilton Center for the Performing Arts.
