About the Show

Inspired by true events, the Tony Award-winning musical Million Dollar Quartet takes you inside the famed 1956 recording session at Sun Studio that brought together Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins. Through electrifying performances of rock ‘n’ roll classics like “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Great Balls of Fire,” and “Folsom Prison Blues,” this jukebox musical captures the passion, energy, and camaraderie of four music legends at the moment their careers collided.

December 4, 1956, is now reborn nightly in The Phoenix Theatre Company’s Hormel Theatre in MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET under the crackling, kinetic direction of Scott Weinstein. It’s a 2 hour, high-voltage, rock ‘n roll joyride with the founding fathers of rock ‘n’ roll. From the first downbeat of Blue Suede Shoes, you know exactly where you are: a time machine disguised as a jukebox.
David Appleford, Broadway World
The TPTC presentation has these perfect entertainers in Brady Wease’s piano-pounding Lewis, Gregg Hammer’s harmonica-throbbing and guitar-strumming Cash, Kurt Jenkins’ guitar-jamming [Perkins], and Nick Voss’ swirling and foot-stomping Presley.
Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix
Kyle Sorrell plays Phillips with a rockabilly preacher’s drawl and a little carnie huckster glint in his eye. ... Sorrell doesn’t shout his lines like he’s trying to reach the rafters, he confides, he seduces, like Sam Phillips knew he had to sell you not just the sound, but the myth.
David Appleford, Broadway World
Kyle Sorrell is the perfect Sun Records’ impresario Sam Phillips, Alyssa Chiarello charms as Elvis’ hip-swinging gum-chewing girlfriend, Dyanne, and Austin Case plays Perkins’ brother Jay, who turns his bass into a character. Robert Grahmann artfully bangs his drums as Fluke adding the requisite percussionist vibes to the well-known musical numbers. It couldn’t be a better ensemble.
Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix
Kurt Jenkins as Carl Perkins slings his guitar like a man with something to prove, and history tells us he did.
David Appleford, Broadway World
Brady Wease’s Jerry Lee is a manic delight. He’s equal parts showman, madman, and Southern-fried genius, a chaotic, piano-pounding child who’s deliriously fun to watch and barely legal to let onstage.
David Appleford, Broadway World
Gregg Hammer gives Cash the gravitas of a man who’s peered into the abyss and written a song about it.
David Appleford, Broadway World
Nick Voss as Elvis, already a myth in his own lifetime, is less a caricature than a gentle echo, with hips a little looser, a smile a little sadder.
David Appleford, Broadway World
And when Alyssa Chiarello as Dyanne slinks her way through Little Willie John’s "Fever", she doesn’t just stop the show, she makes you forget who else is on stage.
David Appleford, Broadway World
All is pulled together impressively in Scott Weinstein’s staging that keeps the show’s pace zinging along but allows for several reflective moments when the players chat about their careers.
Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix
By the time the show hits the finale, the joint is jumpin’ with a fire that’s more than just stagecraft; it’s a reminder of why America fell in love with these boys in the first place.
David Appleford, Broadway World
Daniel Davisson’s lighting design pulses with color, peaking during the glorious post-curtain concert that feels less like an encore and more like a victory lap. Austin Case lays down the bass and Robert Grahmann drives the drums, all of it wrapped in Adriana Diaz’s period-perfect costumes and powered by Matthew Drui’s sound, which boasts more wattage and clarity than most touring bands.
