Hit jukebox musical Million Dollar Quartet has announced its returns to London this September for a strictly limited 12-week run. The musical, a dramatised portrayal of real events, sees music icons Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley come together for a jam session that changed music history.
Bringing the infamous night to life, Million Dollar Quartet is packed with music from the greats, including hits like ‘Blue Suede Shoes,’ ‘Fever,’ ‘Walk the Line,’ ‘Hound Dog’ and ‘Great Balls of Fire.’
Stage and screen favourite, Darren Day (Hollyoaks, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Chicago) stars as visionary producer Sam Phillips, who started and ran Sun Records.
This exciting production transfers from the Barn Theatre, following a stellar summer season in Cirencester. On today’s announcement, CEO and Artistic Director of the Barn Theatre Iwan Lewis said, ‘Million Dollar Quartet has blown the roof off the Barn Theatre, and now it’s ready to rock London!
We’re thrilled to be working with Steve Spiegel and TRW Production to bring another Barn Theatre hit to the capital. Sitting next door to Hyde Park, the setting for truly legendary gigs, The Arts at Marble Arch feels like a natural home for the greatest jam session in rock ’n’ roll history.
Enormous credit goes to every member of this company, from our cast and creatives to our crew and production team. Together, they have audiences of every generation dancing in the aisles, night after night. We can’t wait to see London do the same and keep rock ’n’ roll alive!’.
