Fifth Third Bank
Broadway in Atlanta will welcome the
Tony® Award Winning Broadway musical MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET as part of
the 2012/2013 season, playing at the Fox Theatre from March 12-17,
2013.

true story, will go on sale November 18. Tickets start at $33 and

The
international Tony® Award Winning musical, Million Dollar Quartet is set on 12/456, when an auspicious twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry
Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley together.
Sam Phillips, the “Father of
Rock ‘n’ Roll” who was responsible for launching the careers of each icon,
brought the four legendary musicians together at the Sun Records storefront
studio in Memphis for the first and only time. The resulting evening became
known as one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll jam sessions in
history.
MILLION DOLLAR
QUARTET brings that
legendary night to life with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets,
betrayal, and celebrations featuring an eclectic score of rock, gospel, R&B,
and country hits including: “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Who Do
You Love?,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Matchbox,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Whole
Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “Hound Dog,” and more.
Portraying these
icons are original Broadway cast member Robert Britton Lyons as Carl
Perkins, Martin Kaye as Jerry Lee Lewis, David Elkins as Johnny Cash,
and Cody Slaughter as Elvis Presley. Vince Nappo plays the “Father
of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” Sam Phillips. The cast also features Kelly Lamont as
Dyanne, and musicians Billy Shaffer (Fluke, drums), and Corey
Kaiser
(Jay Perkins,
bass). Rounding out the company are: Katie Barton, Austin Cook,
Scott Moreau, John Michael Presney, David Sonneborn, and Billy
Woodward.
The show is
directed by Eric Schaeffer and features a book by Colin Escott and
Floyd Mutrux. The design team includes Derek McLane (scenic
design), Howell Binkley (lighting design), Jane Greenwood
(costume design), Kai Harada (sound design), and Chuck Mead
(musical arrangements and supervision).
When the
Broadway production opened in April 2010, critics and audiences leapt to their
feet in unanimous praise. The New York Times called the show, “a buoyant
new musical that whips the crowd into a frenzy;” New York Magazine
labeled it, “a dazzling raucous spectacle that sounds like a million bucks;” and
NY1 called it, “90 minutes of platinum grade entertainment.” The musical
continued its successful New York engagement at New World Stages through June
2012.
The
Chicago production of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET opened in 2008 and is
still playing to packed houses at the Apollo Theatre. The West End production
played at the Noël Coward Theatre in London in 2011.
MILLION DOLLAR
QUARTET won a Tony
Award® for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical and
received a Tony Award® nomination for Best Musical and Best Book of a
Musical (Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux). The show received an Outer Critics
Circle Award for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical, a Drama Desk
nomination for Outstanding Musical Revuem and three Drama League nominations
including Distinguished Production of a Musical and Distinguished
Performance.
