MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET will play its final performance at London's Noël Coward Theatre on Saturday 14 January 2012 whilst producers make plans for a major tour of the UK and Ireland.

A statement on behalf of the producers: "We've enjoyed a fantastic year in the West End and audiences have been amazing. We'd like to thank our cast of extraordinarily talented actors and musicians as well as the great company and crew who have all helped raise the roof of the Noël Coward Theatre night after night. We're now looking forward to taking this great show to audiences all across the UK and Ireland."
