Grammy Nominee Lee Rocker to Play Broadway’s Million Dollar Quartet for Limited Engagement

Lee Rocker, bassist and vocalist for the Grammy nominated band The Stray Cats, will play the role of Jay Perkins in Broadway’s Million Dollar Quartet, at the Nederlander Theatre, for a limited engagement, January 21-31. He will be filling in for original cast member Corey Kaiser, who is taking a scheduled vacation, and will return to the production on February 1.

Million Dollar Quartet 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. Eric Schaeffer has directed the production.

Founded by Rocker, Brian Setzer, and Slim Jim Phantom, The Stray Cats have sold nearly 10 million albums and garnered an astounding 23 gold and platinum certified records worldwide.
