Million Dollar Quartet Cast to Perform at New York City Marathon

The cast of the musical Million Dollar Quartet, now at the Nederlander Theatre, will perform the National Anthem to
kick off the ING New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 7. The performance
will be broadcast live on WNBC (Channel 4) between 9:30-9:45am.

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.

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