Chicago’s Million Dollar Quartet, about the December 4, 1956 meeting of Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis “played together for the first and only time,” is officially transferring to Broadway in the spring of next year.
Eric Schaeffer (Putting it Together, Glory Days) will direct the production, which features a book by Colin Escott and Floyd Muntrux and the songs “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Who Do You Love?,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Riders in the Sky,” “I Walk the Line,” “Folsom Prison Blues” and “Whole Lotta’ Shakin’ Goin’ On,” among others.
Cast, location and dates have not yet been announced. I’ll post on the blog when they are.
In the meantime, here’s a video montage from the Chicago production:
