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 on Dec. 4, 1956, at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions ever.
This true story is a both musical and a concert. Million Dollar Quartet brings this legendary night to life, featuring popular hits such as “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “I Walk the Line,” “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On,” “Who Do You Love,” “Hound Dog,” and more. This thrilling production brings you inside the recording studio for an unforgettable night showcasing a score of rock ‘n’ roll, R&B, and country hits. Mixed throughout is a 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.
