Director Bruce Huffman fronts the production aspect of the show and belts, “Million Dollar Quartet captures something we rarely get to witness: the moment before greatness has a name. One small Memphis recording studio, run by Sam Phillips , hosts Jerry Lee Lewis , Carl Perkins , Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley as they come together as relatively unknown, young artists to explore a budding music genre. That night was raw, electric, funny, intimate, and full of possibility. Before they were legends, they were kids making music and having a hell of a lot of fun. And now, so are we!”
Theatre Memphis Executive Producer, Debbie Litch, believes Million Dollar Quartet is a one in a million show. “When you have a story that literally includes THE original jukebox music, you know the public will love it. With the outstanding cast we have, our patrons will get a true feel for the period and the importance of Memphis to the music scene. The experience is a true tribute to the 70 years since that fateful night that was so magical.”
