Milion Dollar Quartet

Milion Dollar Quartet

Million Dollar Quartet is the worldwide smash-hit musical inspired by the famous recording session that brought together rock ‘n’ roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for the first and only time. On December 4, 1956, these four star musicians gathered at Sun Records in Memphis, the studios of legendary record producer Sam Phillips (Jason Donovan) for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions ever. Million Dollar Quartet brings that legendary night to life, featuring a score of rock hits including Blue Suede Shoes, Fever, That’s All Right, Sixteen Tons, Great Balls of Fire, Walk the Line, Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On, Who Do You Love?,  Matchbox, Folsom Prison Blues, Hound Dog and many more.

The critical consensus

A rockin-rollin’ show which hits every delicious note of a fab night out!

*****Jo Turbitt, Across the Arts, 02/11/2016

There is a nod to the real session with a great version of Down by the Riverside but, for the main part, this is a celebratory marriage of gig and history lesson, all rolled into one. And none-the-worse for it.

****(*)Thom Dibdin, All Edinburgh Theatre, 01/11/2016

While there isn't anything here that you can't find in numerous biographies, to see what could be an extended anecdote reimagined with such vigour is a musical trainspotter's delight.

***(*)(*)Neil Cooper, Coffee-Table Notes, 02/11/2016

A real treat for the eyes and ears, Million Dollar Quartet is an experience not to be missed by any fan of the quartet. This is most likely the best touring production of 2016.

*****Fraser MacDonald, The Reviews Hub, 01/11/2016

The testosterone-heavy cast is universally on the ball but it’s Robbie Durham‘s take on Johnny Cash that shines through and raises the hairs on the backs of necks. But there’s still something rather stiff in this jamming session. The guys need to loosen up.

***(*)(*)Ken Wilson, TVBomb, 01/11/2016

Million Dollar Quartet is glorious, pure unadulterated, no-frills, high-talent entertainment at its best.

****(*)Lauren Humphreys, The Reviews Hub, 14/11/2016

While the track list might suggest this is just another jukebox musical, the show feels as though it has been crafted with a little more care than most.
