MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET to Launch UK Tour, Sept. 14

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET - the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical and West End smash hit - is to embark on its first ever UK Tour, opening at Leicester Curve on 14th September 2016.

Inspired by the true story of the famed recording session where Sam Phillips, the "Father of Rock 'n' Roll" brought together icons Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET will play Sheffield Lyceum, Nottingham Theatre Royal, Malvern, Birmingham Hippodrome, Edinburgh Festival Theatre, Leeds Grand, Glasgow King's Theatre, Southampton Mayflower and Bristol Hippodrome. Further spring 2017 dates to be announced.

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET includes more than 20 legendary rock 'n' roll hits, including Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog, I Walk The Line and Great Balls of Fire.

On December 4, 1956, history was made when these four young musicians gathered at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest impromptu jam sessions ever. It brings to light the extraordinary story of broken promises, secrets, and the once-in-a-lifetime celebration of four friends that is both poignant and heartwarming.

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary night to life, featuring a score of rock hits which bring you inside the recording studio with four major talents who came together as a red-hot rock 'n' roll band for one unforgettable night.

Million Dollar Quartet is written by Tony Award nominees Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux and produced by Simon Friend and Mark Goucher. Olivier nominated Ian Talbot OBE, renowned for his tenure as both Artistic and Managing director at The Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park directs. Casting is to be announced.

Don't miss your chance to be a fly on the wall of fame and history, and join in the celebration... at MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET!
