Million Dollar Quartet to Open April 11 at Broadway’s Nederlander Theatre

The new musical Million Dollar Quartet, featuring a book by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux, will play Broadway’s Nederlander Theatre, beginning March 13, with an opening night now set for April 11. Eric Schaeffer will direct, with musical direction by Chuck Mead. Casting will be announced at a later date.

The show was inspired by the famed 1956 recording session that brought together four of the most legendary figures in the history of rock ‘n’ roll — Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley. The show includes numerous hits from these music legends, including “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.”

Million Dollar Quartet premiered in Chicago in October 2008, and is still running. That production recently received three nominations for Jeff Awards, including Best Production of a Musical (Large) and Best Ensemble.
