Million Dollar Quartet (Touring)

We took my grandmother and she can't stop talking about it. She swears it took her back to her teenage years. Best thing we could have ever done for her. Can't wait to do something like that again for her it was great.

The show was great. Carl Perkins portrayer was a great guitarist. When Johnny Cash first opened his mouth he was spot on to the real Cash. Elvis was a great impersonater as was Jerry Lee.

If you love oldies you will love this show. All of the cast members were dead on. It is a must see and was fantastic. I am forty years old and this production gave me a glimpse into their era. I highly recommend the Million Dollar Quartet.

Million Dollar Quartet not only met our expectations but blew us away with the performances and story. The actors could not have been more spot on and if anyone has a chance to see this musical, it is worth every penny!

Sure brought me back in time to an era of beloved music and people.

My wife and I are starting the empty nest part of our lives. and we have had more time together and have found R.B.T.L. interesting. She usually picks the shows but I suggested The Million Dollar Quartet. We both loved every second of it. All of the characters did a very good of the real celebrity they were playing perfectly and could entertain a theater on their own as their own as them self's and not being in character.

This show is a real gem! The performers were very talented and their imitations of their characters were perfect. It was a walk down memory lane for us and thoroughly enjoyable for my son and his wife who are in their forties. The story line and flashbacks help tie the music together and explained the connections and circumstances. I would see it again, if I had the chance. The finale was such a great way to end the show!

This was great rally wonderful singers and true to the story and characters. Cast was fantastic.

Each of the actors/singers are spot-on! I'd go see it again in a second!

What a talented bunch of people. Best Jimmy Cash impression.

Great show! The musicians were excellent and the actors who played Elvis and Johnny Cash sounded just like them. Not much for acting just some great music and a little history about the start of rock n roll.

Excellent show,, great musicians & singers. This group of performers blended their talents beyond belief. Absolutely the best time ever!!!

What a great show! The singers were amazing, the music was amazing, the portrayals were right on! Lots of fun , especially for those who remember the times! We have recommended it already so that our friends will go before MDQ leaves town! Go, you won't be disappointed!

This was one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. It was energetic and packed with talent. Anyone who remembers the real foursome would enjoy an evening with this amazing cast.

We really enjoyed the fabulous show on Thursday, October 27. The cast was obviously selected from very talented musicians -- they were all outstanding. Unfortunately, the sign language interpreter was a huge distraction. She was under a spotlight, and we just could not ignore her or her hand movements. Please -- let people know in advance of ticket purchase that an interpreter will be present. We would have selected a different show if we had known.

Awesome show! Some of the best guitar, base and piano playing have ever heard.

The Million Dollar Quartet was a great show and I'd certainly see it again and have recommended it to others. The music and performers were both excellent!

I was a little skeptical about seeing the show. We had seen Jersey Boys last year, and we knew that their show had set high expectations. We're glad we did. It was a great show, very entertaining. All of the actors played their characters spot on. You will not be disappointed!

Loved the music and show. Would recommend to family and friends.

The cast was amazing! We enjoyed every minute of Million Dollar Quartet.

"Million Dollar Quartet" was incredible, one of the best shows I've ever seen. The actors playing Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins were extremely talented, having to act, play instruments, sing, and imitate, which they did to a T. At times, I felt like I was watching and listening to the real deals! If you get a chance, you've got to go!

From start to finish, it was a fabulous event. I am not sure whether I should call it a play or a concert, because it was both. All of the actors were extremely talented with great voices. Since I did not know anything about Carl Perkins, I cannot compare that actor to the real person, but he had a great voice and could really play the guitar. The actors playing Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis were great and especially the actor playing Elvis looked just like him, moved like him and sang like him. But to me, the one that brought down the house was the actor playing Johnny Cash. When he said "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash," you thought that Johnny had come back from the dead. I do not want to forget the actors playing Sam and Diane because their performances were also outstanding. The audience loved it and clapped and yelled throughout the entire performance. It was wonderful, and I would highly recommend it to my friends. In fact, I already have.

We decided to go to this on the spur of the moment after hearing an interview on the radio with one of the lead characters. It was fantastic! The music was great -- I sang the songs (silently in consideration of others around me) and we both bopped in our seats throughout the entire production. This ranks right up there with Jersey Boys for nostalgia and incredible entertainment. Go!

All I can say is that we hated to see it end. Each actor stayed in character and was believable in his role. Excellent. Treat yourself and buy a ticket. It will not disappoint.

This show was amazing! The talent on stage was the best I have seen in quite a long time. I only wish I had been around to see the original musicians. I would see this show over & over !

It was so much fun revisiting the old songs. Had some great insight into how things were working in rock and roll's infancy. The finale was great. Only downside was I thought it wasn't very long. Would have enjoyed even more music.

My only regret was I wanted to hear every song to completion. Excellent music, informative script, realistic impersonations. Chair dancing at it's finest!

Terrific show! Great balance between music and dialog; tremendous vocal performances all around; good song selection although I would have substituted one or two of my favorites for those selected.

The performers were absolutely amazing! Their performances were so much like the real performers, and they are fantastic musicians as well. One of the best shows I have seen.

The show and music wee excellent. The sound in a few of the mikes did not work at times. This was the only negative.

Unfortunately we saw the Million Dollar Quartet in New York. This traveling group can play instruments well but cannot sing. If you're playing Johnny Cash, you gotta sound like him. The Elvis impersonator was so bad you forgot he was performing. Stick to the same story as the original.

One of the most fun shows I've seen in a while. Really enlightened about the history of the old and great stars. Would have been 5 stars but the sound guys were struggling with getting the mics on at the right time. I think that was more of a location thing and nothing to do with the quality of the performers. I expected more from the Cobb Energy Center.

FABULOUS!!!! Brought back wonderful teenage memories!!! Performers were extremely talented and brought the characters to life!! Enjoyed every second!!!

I've already been recommending this event to friends and family. So much fun! DPAC is always a GREAT venue, and this performance really wowed the audience. If you are reading this, and haven't see the Million Dollar Quartet, buy tickets!

Highly entertaining; all the actors / performers did a great job! Highly recommend.

This is a great story with great music and bigger than life characters. While the cast was musically talented and up to the challenge, the acting and overall production fell short. I don't know the resume of the actors involved, but it felt like a very high level community theater group. The lighting was sub par as well with dramatic shadows on the actor's faces.

a great return to a great era. Rock and roll still lives. Jerry lee was the shoe stealer.

It was so good that I overheard a person behind me wondering "if the singing could have been dubbed!!" Wow.

This show was good up to a point, but at times the narrative dragged out the flow of the overall point. The "imitators" were all pretty good, but the best was the one who played Jerry Lee Lewis. He could really play the piano!!!!!!!!!

In a show where I anticipated that music and story would have the audience in a constant state of exuberance, the show fell sadly short. It was more on par with a History Channel documentary - to the point of being boring at times. The role of Jerry Lee Lewis came closest to exuberance out of all the cast of characters in the show. My great seat for my first time at the DPAC in Durham, NC was the real memory maker of the evening fro me.

Great show, My sister and her husband came to visit and I surprised her with tickets .....we had a fantastic time

Each member of the quartet was excellent at playing their part. The musicians were also very good and we enjoyed all the music.

this show was excellent. I enjoyed myself very much

The music was the best part. I could hardly hear all of the dialogue and my fellow patrons felt the need to video the songs with their cell phones.

I have seen this show three times, and each time is better than the last. Do not miss it!

It was just ok. The dialog was mumbled and given without much enthusiasm, except for the actor who portrayed Jerry Lee Lewis. Yet even he was hobbled by the poorly written script. The music saved the show, a bit too loud at times, but it is rock and roll. Save your money and buy the original Sam Phillips recording.

What a great performance!! It was like being a fly on the wall back on that night in 1956. I loved seeing the night's events play out as if I was really there. Plus, it was almost like being at a concert since all the actors were actually playing their instruments and singing while they performed. I loved it! Rock on!

This is the second time we have seen this event and loved it each time. The actors are very good and the music was exceptional. Would go and see it again when it comes through town.

A nice show, the music was great ,the singers only okay. I would go again, but not this tour.

This play brings you back in time! You will never forget December 4, 1956 and Samuel Cornelius Philips from Sun Records.

Great performance! Great music. Great date night. Would definitely go back to the show again, especially with all the new restaurants to go to before and after. Also make sure you get your drinks or snacks before the show because there as there is no intermission.

It was very good and very lively, but very difficult to understand the characters when they spoke. I first thought it was just me, but afterwards there were several people commenting that they had a hard time understanding what was being said.

One of the best musical stage productions. I saw Grease on Broadway & this production was on the same level.

If you like rock n roll, you will love this musical! I want to see it again!

One of if not the best show we have been to. The young kids were so talented and energetic, you could tell they loved what they were doing. All of the kids were great but the kid playing Jerry Lee Lewis was really something. He was fantastic on the piano.

Love the format of the back story of this memorble occasion. Attended with family and we had a wonderful time. The cast was wonderful...enjoyed it greatly.

Overall, it was a pretty good show. The guys playing Jerry Lee and Johnny Cash were really good. Elvis was good, but just didn't look as much like Elvis as the other two did. Perkins is a really good guitar player. Sam added a lot of levity and humor to it. The female character could really sing! The musical performances were great. The musicians were all good and I generally liked the song choices. The story is a little weak and seems forced. It is weird when Sam Phillips goes into the soliloquy at the end. That just doesn't fit with the rest of the play. Also, it makes Carl Perkins seem like a jerk and Jerry Lee seem dumb. I don't think that is an adequate portrayal of either of them.

THIS WAS OUR FIRST TIME AT THE BJCC. THE SHOW WAS FANTASTIC. WE LOVED IT!!

Excellent show!!! The cast, performance, and music are amazing and really capture what it must have been like on that famous night. Get ready to jam with the classics! A thrill for all ages. And the cast nailed their characters. BJCC concert hall is a great venue to boot! Only minor con/suggestion: actors' mic was low during speaking parts. Should turn it up more! especially when seating around older crowd. Note: There's no intermission - so plan accordingly.

This performance was very special to someone who "live' in Memphis during this musical phenomenon. Lived near one of Elvis's girl friends. Amazing time. As for the performances, Cory Slaughter looked the part so well and his performance was super. Personally know one of his past GF's. New Johnny Cash...amazing voice...great job. New Carl Perkins....played super but didn't look the part. And of course, Jerry Lee was terrific in both playing and performing...SUPER SHOW..ai 2nd time....would go again....please come back next season.

Awesome, Spectacular can not say enough about the stars in this show! It is a MUST see show for sure!!

This show was unforgettable. The staff at DPAC is always top notch. Both my 9 year old son and I were tapping our toes and singing all night long! The only down side was the fella in front of us wearing the big black hat. He refused to take it off. Fortunately, we were able to move into empty seats beside us once the lights dimmed.

We have seen a lot of Broadway musicals. We saw Phantom in New York. We saw Les Mis in London. But Million Dollar Quartet in Raleigh was the best show of all for amazing entertainment, talent, pure fun and excitement. Elvis rocked the house. Jerry Lee Lewis was incredible. Carl Perkins was the leader of the band. and we had been around Carl in those early years in Memphis. And the new guy who played Johnny Cash was by far the best we have ever seen. He took our breath away. He nailed it. We should know. Johnny Cash is my Uncle (mother's brother). We spent many hours together almost every Thanksgiving and Christmas having Cash family reunions at J.R. 's (Uncle Johnny's) home in Hendersonville. I grew up at the Ryman auditorium in Nashville backstage attending his concerts. He used to bring the band over and practise at our home just for my Mama's free cooking. David Elkins (Johnny) had the mannerisms, attitude, speech, and "golden-throat" vocals almost identical. Our whole family could close our eyes and felt like we were back with the dear one we grew up with for all those years, in Memphis and Nashville. We were moved, touched, amazed, and spell-bound. Others around us were saying the same thing. Thank you cast and crew for gving so much. It was an unforgettable spiritual experience.

Went expecting/hoping to be entertained, not knowing what a treat we were really in for. The narrator brilliantly took the audience along as he shared his once in a lifetime experience with four musical geniuses. The singing was spot-on! You felt as though the actors were the real thing. And their instrument playing was equally fabulous. So refreshing to hear real music, real singing, no recordings. The selection of signature songs from each of the artists was perfect. Just when we thought the show had finally climaxed, another surprise hit would rock the stage, raising the bar to even greater heights. And in the end, the Narrator cleverly pulled it all together with one simple photo. We could see it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What an enjoyable show, and a fabulous cast and creative team. We saw understudies who ROCKED the show! There were people that you normally wouldn't see in at a musical, attracted by the classic rock icons and their music (I imagine this is more than just a "juke box musical" for many new theatre goers). Not always uncanny impersonations, but pretty damn close! And ALL played their own instruments (no small feat with this music). Seats were terrific! Aisle allowed for unobstructed view!

What can I say after seeing this show for the 10th time, it was an incredible experience! The finale in Los Angeles on July 1st was epic! Can't wait for it to return in 2013. See you down the road boys and Kelly ;-)

I went to see two friends IN THE SHOW....I was never a fan of the music of any of these four performers. However, my dad was and he would have loved it had he still been alive. I had no idea that this show was actually based on a REAL EVENING in which these fabulous entertainers actually all came together. I thought it was an WHAT IF THESE SINGERS ALL CAME TOGETHER. No orchestra...the actors were playing their instruments. Jerry Lee Lewis, portrayed as just a young kid, was already a wild man at the Piano. Most sang songs we know, and a few I had never heard of, either jamming together or singing in Perfect Harmony. The only female member of the cast, was the understudy, and she was just FABULOUS (Alyssa Marie). Though upon follow up web searching I read that though Elvis was with a date that evening, it was with a model who did not sing....having a woman singing showed a sultry side of Elvis's music. No Intermission....and the evening flew by and you didn't want it to end. An Encore at the end reminded me of the ending of Mamma Mia, where the actors donned sequined jackets and each got to perform one of their performers major hits. JUST FABULOUS

Being a huge Elvis fan and a lover of good music, I was interested in seeing this play. I've read professional reviews stating that this is nothing more than a glorified tribute concert. Not sure I agree with that. Yes, the actors/performers sing a lot - they play their own instruments and sing too. And they are extremely talented. This musical is very loosely based on the night Elvis (played by Cody Slaughter), Johnny Cash (played by Derek Keeling), Jerry Lee Lewis (played by Martin Kaye) and Carl Perkins (played by Lee Ferris) jammed together at Sam Phillips' Sun Studios. They may not have sung the exact same songs as those on the real life recording, but you'll know most, if not all of these rock and roll classics. And, the dialogue in the play isn't what went down on that December night in 1956. But you will get some historical facts about these four pioneers of music along with Sam Phillips' story. I think it works beautifully. Besides the "quartet" of singers and Sam Phillips (played by Christopher Ryan Grant), Elvis' girlfriend (played by Kelly Lamont) also makes the scene, but in the play, she sings a couple of songs (which didn't happen in real life. Elvis brought a girlfriend to the studios, but she didn't sing with the guys). Then there is a drummer and stand up bass player who fill in. The talent is over the top. ALL of the performers are outstanding playing their counterparts and they are wonderful musicians. I would highly recommend this play for anyone who is a fan of music. It really makes you appreciate what true talent is.

I have seen the Million Dollar Quartet 8 times now and it gets better each & every time. I instantly became a fan after seeing it for the first time in Chicago in May 2011 followed by the New York production in August of 2011. When it was announced the show was going on tour, I immediately booked my tickets for my local theater in Southern California not once, but for 4 shows. On an impulse, we went to see them in Tempe, AZ in June and now 2 more times in Los Angeles for my 8th & 9th times. I am huge rock and roll fan who just can't enough of the show. I love the music, the production, the acting, the drama, the costumes.....everything about this show is a winner. Call me crazy but I just might have to book my tickets for Canada next month!

All four singers were very good and I couldn't get over how much "Johnny Cash" and "Elvis Presley" sounded like the real singers. Having stated high school in 1956 and having attended an Elvis concert in San Francisco in 57 or 58 I really felt like I had gone back in time. The program was excelent and the actors delightful.

Fantastic tallent, humor and totally entertaining. I thought it was ending TOO soon but then it started up again and went on another half hour or so . Great way to learn and review the history of that great era in Musical history, If you can arrange it .. GO see it just for the fun of it ...

Excellent show. Very entertaining. Staff very polite and efficient too.

Having been to Sun Studio in Memphis, I could relate even better to the story line. The musicians were excellent and really did a good job imitating the original stars.

Musicians were fantastic...especially the flexible bass player. Tremendous re-enactment of an historical event. Enjoyed the songs.

I thought the Million Dollar Quartet was very entertaining. I learned a lot of the past that I had not known before. Being from Muscle Shoals, AL. it brought a lot of good memories back. The artist were all excellent, favorites were Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash. I would highly recommend attending if you get the opportunity. Plus the concert hall at Von Braun is an excellent venue.

Although the actors had amazing voices, the sound system really needs an upgrade. No speakers up in the balcony;I missed a lot of the dialogue. Awkward silence at times made you wonder- is that part of the script? No intermission made for a quick show. Perfect for a older crowd. If the sound was better, maybe the audience would have interacted.

I took my 80-yo parents to the show. They were blown away! This is the music they listened to as teens, and their records are what I listened to in the 60's as a child. The show was like reliving my childhood. I had a blast myself...most fun I've had in YEARS!

Thoroughly enjoyed the bop down memory lane. Actors were well in character and have great musical talent. It was hard not to get up and dance, even in close together rows!

The musicians where first class, the performance was great. Maybe the southern accents were a bit much but it was so much fun who cares.

The performance was very entertaining!! One of the best!!

if nothing else a great history lesson. good music and performed fairly well.

We saw this show in Branson and really enjoyed it so when we saw it as coming to McAllen,TX we knewwewanted to see it again. We would see it again if it ever comes back to our area.

Great show! The perfornmacnes were outstanding. I enjoyed the story of Sun Records and the music of four of the greatest performers of the rock and roll era. Recommend this show to all music lovers.

What can you say about this show other than the music was the best. From the low, soulful notes of Johnny Cash and musicality of Carl Perkins to the high energy songs of Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis, it was an evening of delight. We especially liked the actor who played Jerry Lee Lewis (from my Alma Mater of SUNY at Buffalo) for his outrageousness ability in character.

The musicians were wonderful, they tried their best, The only terrible situation was they sat half of our group at the cheapest tickets and half of us in front so two tickets were wasted, the ushers did not know where the seats were and put my son and his wife on the third floor when we were at the very front of the theater

Great all the way around....music, set, everything. Go see it!

My wife and I saw this show in Las Vegas 02/16 and it was OUTSTANDING that is why we wanted to see it again. That was a mistake! This venue is great, however whoever was running the sound missed a lot of queues to start with. There were only 2 performers that did a good job. The lady that sang I should more say screeched and they way she walked on stage looked like she had been in a bad wreck. She led with her head about a foot in front of the rest of her body. We were in the 5th row, the seats were great and that is were the greatness ended. I could go on but no reason.

AWESOME show! Very entertaining, hated when it was over.

We thoroughly enjoyed this show! The music was great and the performers were all so incredibly talented, it is hard to believe, The bass player and the actor who played Jerry Lee Lewis were exceptionally talented and entertaining. If you have the opportunity to see this show, get tickets now... you won't regret it!

Great music, great story,left you feeling uplifted

I loved this show. Music and acting was good. The Elvis character was spot on and so was the Johnny Cash character. Very enjoyable show.

Was one of the best I have been to this year would go again

The music was great, and the characters were perfect. Everyone in the audience knew all the songs, and moved in time to the music. It was about 1 hour 45 minutes with no intermission. We would go again tomorrow.

Million Dollar Quartet was absolutely awesome!! Loved it! Especially Jerry Lee!!!

Million Dollar Quartet not only provides an amazing story in music history, but also brings an outstanding entertainment event that will leave you with a smile.

With the exception of some audio issues, it was a great production. Loved the Jerry Lee Lewis character. First time at this venue and it was great.

This was an outstanding performance, a step above the Million Dollar Quartet show that we saw in Las Vegas two years ago. I highly recommend this event...it is not to be missed.

Always a good show , the players change once and awhile. Worth seeing more than once.

We took a group of teens to this show and it was so well done that not only did the adults enjoy it immensely, all the teens went crazy for the music and story. They want to know more about this era and the birth of rock and roll. Each character was portrayed so very accurately and their talent was out of this world. The concert at the end was the cherry and sprinkles on is treat of a program. We left the theater laughing and singing - wonderful memories made for our whole group!

Being a long time rock & roll fan, this play brought back many, many memories. The actors and one actress were excellent both in their singing abilities and acting. The songs chosen for the play were time period correct unlike movies I've seen.
