Million Dollar Quartet (Chicago)

Hot on the heels of its Broadway run, rock and roll musical Million Dollar Quartet is on the road to tell the story of the fateful meeting between Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash at an impromptu jam session in December of 1956. The musical focuses on these newcomers before they became icons, gathered for a rare collaboration at Sun Studios in Memphis. The cast brilliantly portrays the original performers while playing each timeless track with perfection and ease. Million Dollar Quartet will have fans all shook up this summer with their red-hot 2014 tour dates.

This show is like a entertainment secret! A small simple stage only emphasizes the enormous talent of every person on the stage. If you love the music from the Sun Records era and you appreciate the talent of the the people on that label, you will love the dynamics of this show. There is nothing cheesy or Vegas about this show... For a good time, good music and real entertainment, this is your show.

To say it was phenomenal is an understatement! It was more than that! If you like Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and/or Jerry Lee Lewis you will love this musical! The only thing I didn't like a bout the experience is you couldn't take any pictures during the event.

A bit slow - I honestly expected more of a Wow. Jerry Lee Lewis character actor was terrific and Johnnty Cash was good. The back up drummer and cello player were very good. But the play overall was a bit too slow for me. And I love Broadway.

This was a smaller venue but packed a big punch. The boys were very talented and entertained with everything they had. I would highly recommend this show - before it leaves.

We were so impressed with this group of performers.....they are talented actors, but the fact that they can play and sing the songs of such well-know musical "legends" is just amazing! Sean Sullivan deserves a special mention for truly capturing the essence of Johnny Cash. Also, noone should overlook the talent of the drummer and the bass player...they keep a constant stream of music and accompaniment going throughout the show....really talented guys!! We also loved the way the "story" was put together around the event of the one evening, but also gives you a look back at each performer's history with Sun Records and uses the evening as a turning point for their futures beyond Sun. This was a great show and an awesome concert by stars who we never could have hoped to see perform together. We cannot recommend it highly enough!!!

The actors are GREAT! The direction stinks. The show DIES in between every song. Had only a few nights to see Broadway shows. I am very sorry I choose this one.

My husband and I enjoyed Million Dollar Quartet. It was a lot of fun and the 4 main characters portraying Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash were all outstanding musicians and performers. They put on a great show. If you are into the music from that era you'll have a great time.

The show was so incredible that I've seen it 4 times. Each time I have found another friend to see it with, so that I can share the experience with old, long-time friends.

professionally performed and produced. Terrific venue. Only negative , I felt, was the character of Elvis' girlfriend. I felt that her character was unnecessary. Even Jerry Lee Lewis' understudy was marvelous

The show was two hours of non stop happiness! It made me laugh and grin from ear to ear from the first moment to the last note! It was hard not to believe that I wasn't really watching Elvis, Jerry, Johnny, and Carl come alive! It was easy to see that the entire audience was taken back to 1956!

I've seen quite a few Broadway plays, but this one was unforgettable. Even if you aren't fond of the music of that era, the characters' talent will draw you in and have you dancing in the aisles by the end of the night! This is a show I would be more than happy to see a second and third time.

This play was very good, and the cast was very talented, especially the actor that played Jerry Lee Lewis. He really livened up the first half. The second half was amazing. It was like a mini concert. I loved the idea of no intermission. that was a great idea.

Singers were excellently matched to respective artists and story line though superficial fit well into play. Loved Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis and marveled how close Johnny Cash singer was to the real Johnny Cash (though he looked like Babe Ruth). CArl Perkins guitar playing was excellent as well. Still wondering how lady singer fit in though likley good for play, not original event.

If only the original quartet had recorded that night! The play was so enjoyable. The cast really had us thinking they were the real Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis and Carl Perkins. The musicianship and voices of the cast members were amazing.

To begin, the reason we went was beause a number of people recommended the show. I thought it was something my mother, who is in her 70's, would enjoy. Needless to say, what a fun show. Every single cast member was exceptional... the talent was second to none. They not only sang but played the musical instruments. There were 7 people in our group ages ranging from 32 - 75. Each one of us walked out of there and said we loved it. You don' t have to have grown up with this music, most of us have heard it and know the artists to appreciate the story. I wouldn't take a 7 year old, but a young adult I believe would enjoy it very much. The venue at Apollo is small. We sat center section in the 2nd to the last row (H). The seats were perfect. Last row in Section 3 looked like the perfect place also because those seats offered even more leg room. I would not sit in the far right or far left sections because some of the seats you would be looking at their backs. The 3 middle sections are great. I would see this show again.
