Rock n Roll Musical Hits the Road
 |
West End musical Million Dollar Quartet has posted closing notices at the Noel Coward Theatre. The show tells the remarkable story of the night in December 1956 when Sun Records founder Sam Phillips brought Elvis Presley back to his studios in Memphis, Tennessee leading to an impromptu jam session with three rising stars - Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis – that became a recording session which made music history. |
Show to Close in the New YearThe production opened in London in February 2011 to almost universal acclaim. It has since been seen by more than 200,000 people, played over 250 performances and grossed in excess of £5 million at the box office. The final West End performance will take place on Saturday 14th January 2012. The musical is then expected to hit the road for a major tour of the UK and Ireland, although dates and casting have yet to be confirmed. A Vintage Blast of Rock n’ RollMillion Dollar Quartet includes some of the best popular music written in the last half century. Songs include: Blue Suede Shoes, Folsom Prison Blues, Fever, I Walk The Line, Let’s Have a Party, I Hear You Knocking, Great Balls Of Fire, Hound Dog and Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On. Ex-Coronation Street star Bill Ward plays record boss ‘Sam Phillips’. Michael Malarkey is ‘Elvis Presley’, Ben Goddard is ‘Jerry Lee Lewis’, Oliver Seymour Marsh is ‘Carl Perkins’ and Derek Hagen plays ‘Johnny Cash’. "The show that left me all shook up!" Quentin Letts, Daily Mail " The show triumphantly delivers!" Charles Spencer, The Daily Telegraph "A surefire jukebox smash!" Mark Shenton, Sunday Express |
