I received an invite in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
Million Dollar Quartet has been on my must-see list ever I first heard about them. They were actually supposed to be on the cruise ship we were on last year but the entertainment ended up changing. When I saw there was a Christmas version coming to a town near me I was so excited to go.
From the creators of the original Million Dollar Quartet, this brand-new productiontransforms a legendary night in music history into a rockin’ Christmas spectacular. Set in the iconic Memphis studio, the show is packed with seasonal favorites and the chart-topping hits that made these icons famous. Audiences will be treated to a nostalgic journey throughstories of Christmas past, present, and future, told through unforgettable performances and playful antics. With a soundtrack that blends rockabilly, gospel, and country, Million Dollar Quartet Christmas delivers a joyful, toe-tapping tribute to the spirit of the season and the enduring power of music.
Million Dollar Quartet Christmas stars JP Coletta as“Jerry Lee Lewis,”Trevor Lindley Craft as“Carl Perkins, ”Michael D. Potter as “Johnny Cash,”Colton Sims as “Elvis Presley,”Ross Griffinas“Sam Phillips,”Teah Kiang Mirabelli as “Dyanne,” Jed Federas “Fluke,”Cody Siragusa as “Brother Jay,” with understudies Jake Busse, Nathan Gallop, Madison Kauffman, Justin Akira Kono, Adelina Marinello, Kelan M. Smith, and Zachary Tate.
The show was amazing! From the start to the end, the show was so upbeat and mesmerizing. I loved the music, character’s personality and nostalgia of the show. Every singer was amazing and truly brought the real singers to life.
