VIDEO FLASH: Broadway’s Million Dollar Quartet Adds "Run, Run, Rudolph" to Finale

New York City
Chuck Berry’s classic 1958 song “Run, Run, Rudolph” has been added to the finale of the Broadway production of Million Dollar Quartet, playing at the Nederlander Theatre. In addition to its inclusion in the show, the song can be heard, performed by the show’s cast, on the Carols for a Cure, Volume 12 CD-set.

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).
