Lesley Gore to Appear at October 28 Performance of Broadway’s Million Dollar Quartet

Pop singer Lesley Gore will now join the Broadway cast of the musical Million Dollar Quartet, at the Nederlander Theatre, for a special encore performance on Thursday, October 28.

The production is directed by Eric Schaeffer. 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. Levi Kreis, who plays Lewis, won the 2010 Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for his performance.

The cast also features Eddie Clendening (Elvis Presley), Lance Guest (Johnny Cash), Robert Britton Lyons (Carl Perkins), Hunter Foster (Sam Phillips), and Elizabeth Stanley (Dyanna).

Gore’s many hits include Judy’s Turn To Cry,” “She’s A Fool,” “That’s the Way Boys Are,” “Maybe I Know,” “You Don’t Own Me,” and “It’s My Party.”
