Million Dollar Quartet is the Tony Award-winning musical inspired by the famed recording session organized by Sam Phillips that brought four rock ‘n’ roll legends together for one time only. On Dec. 4, 1956, these young musicians gathered at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions ever.
This true story is both a musical and a concert, wrapped into one. Million Dollar Quartet brings this legendary night to life, featuring a treasure trove of popular hits such as “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “That’s All Right,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “I Walk the Line,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “Who Do You Love?,” “Matchbox,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Hound Dog,” and more. This thrilling production brings you inside the recording studio for one unforgettable night showcasing an incredible score of rock ‘n’ roll, R&B, and country hits plus an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, and celebrations both poignant and funny.
A free preshow CyberCafé Knapp Stage concert from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. featuring the Ken Kilian Jazz Quartet precedes the performance.
