Million Dollar Quartet
Presented by Texas Performing Arts and Broadway Across America Austin
April 9 – 14, Bass Concert Hall
The international Tony Award-winning musical Million Dollar Quartet comes to Bass Hall this April. Set on Dec. 4, 1956, a twist of fate brings Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley together. Sam Phillips, the “father of rock ’n’ roll,” responsible for launching the careers of each icon, brings the four legendary musicians together for an evening resulting in rock ’n’ roll jam-session history. With Hound Dog, Great Balls of Fire, Folsom Prison Blues and Blue Suede Shoes being just some of the many featured songs, Million Dollar Quartet promises to be “a buoyant new musical that whips the crowd in to a frenzy,” as reviewed by the New York Times.
