Million Dollar Quartet to End Broadway Run on June 12; Reopen in July at New World Stages

The musical Million Dollar Quartet will end its Broadway run at the Nederlander Theatre on Sunday, June 12 after a run of 34 previews and 489 performances.


The show will reopen in July at Off-Broadway’s New World Stages. Exact dates and casting will be announced at a later date.

The production is directed by Eric Schaeffer and features a book by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux. The score includes such songs as “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.”

The show was inspired by the famed 1956 recording session that brought together Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley — along with Sam Phillips, founder of Sun Records.
