Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash reunite on stage

Posted

One historic jam session will come alive again in February.

The Firehouse Theatre announced the cast and creative team for the highly anticipated production of Million Dollar Quartet. This Tony Award®-nominated musical brings the electrifying energy of one of rock 'n' roll's most iconic moments to life.

Million Dollar Quartet transports audiences to December 4, 1956, when a historic jam session at Sun Records in Memphis brought together four legendary artists—Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley. This unforgettable event changed the course of music history and continues to captivate audiences today with a score featuring timeless hits like “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Walk the Line,” “Great Balls of Fire” and many more.

“This show is a dynamic fusion of intimate moments and high-energy rock concerts,” said Director Owen Beans. “It’s both a gripping drama and a brilliant piece of musical theatre.”

The cast includes Gideon Ethridge as Elvis Presley, Joey O’Reilly as Jerry Lee Lewis, Bryson Morlan as Carl Perkins, Ben Meaders as Johnny Cash, Preston Isham as Sam Phillips and Krystal Rodriguez as Dyanne.

“I’m incredibly fortunate to work with such a talented cast of world-class musicians who will bring these legendary figures to life—playing and singing live, of course,” Owens said.

Beans will direct Million Dollar Quartet with Bryce Biffle serving as music director and Caitlin Martelle as assistant director. The show promises to be a must-see event for fans of classic rock and musical theatre alike.

Ticket prices for Million Dollar Quartet are $38 for adults and $35 for students, seniors, educators and first responders. Discounted tickets for preview performances on Thursday, Feb. 6, and Saturday matinees are available for $35.

Rush tickets, available 30 minutes before Thursday performances, are $17 plus a $3 convenience fee. Tickets are subject to availability and must be purchased in-person at the box office.

Opening night will be on Friday, Feb. 7. Tickets and more information are available at www.TheFirehouseTheatre.com.
