Million Dollar Quartet, a musical inspired by the December 4, 1956 recording session that brought together Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley, will play Chicago's Owen Theatre (at the Goodman), September 26-October 26.
The show, which is co-authored by Floyd Mutrux and Colin Escott, will be co-directed by Eric Schaeffer and Mutrux, with musical direction by Chuck Mead. Casting and creative team will be announced at a later date.
The show will feature a treasure trove of the greatest rock, rockabilly, gospel, R&B and country standards of the 1950s, including "Blue Suede Shoes," "Fever," "Sixteen Tons," "Who Do You Love?," "Great Balls of Fire," "Ghost Riders in the Sky," and "Whole Lotta' Shakin' Goin' On."
Schaeffer is the artistic director of Virginia's Signature Theatre, where his credits include The Witches of Eastwick and Kiss of the Spider Woman. His Broadway credits include Putting It Together and Glory Days. Mutrux is best known for the film American Hot Wax.
