ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill.—A historical event in the history of rock ‘n’ roll like no other took place on the afternoon of Dec. 4, 1956 in the recording studio of Sun Records, Memphis Tennessee.
This chance occurrence that brought Elvis Presley (Keegan Sells), Johnny Cash (Dom Alesia), Carl Perkins (Joey Chelius), and Jerry Lee Lewis (Austin Dean Shaw) together was made into a electrifying jukebox musical with the appropriate title of “Million Dollar Quartet” in 2006. The rollicking show was an immediate hit and continues to be a popular homage to the musical era that some believe personified 1950s America. In a fantastic revival, the swinging, upbeat show is now playing at the Metropolis Theatre Center.
