Million Dollar Quartet


We went to see Million Dollar Quartet, which just opened on Broadway. This musical is based upon a true one day recording session of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins at Sun Records.

There is not much of a plot to this musical. It covers a jam session and provides insight into the background of each singer. Million Dollar Quartet is ALL about the music, which was FANTASTIC. If you like these artists, you will really enjoy this play.

People were clapping and singing along with the performers. Jerry Lee's antics had everyone laughing. I learned that Blue Suede Shoes was a Carl Perkins song (I thought it was an Elvis tune!).

If you are looking for 90 minutes of fun, this is the place to go.
