In December 1956, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins collaborated for a jam session at Sun Records studio in Memphis before their careers fully ignited. Sam Phillips, deemed “Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” brought the four artists together for a recording session, the only one that they would ever do together.

The cast and crew work together in Million Dollar Quartet to tell the story of that legendary night with flashbacks of how Sam Phillips inspired each musician individually. Musical numbers include “Great Balls of Fire,” “Walk the Line,” and “Hound Dog,” where each talented cast-member plays his own instrument.

The Tony-nominated musical has played in Chicago for four years. Although the original cast is on a national tour, you can still experience the excitement at Apollo Theater, 2540 N. Lincoln, 773.935.6100. Shows are Wed., 2 and 7:30pm; Thu., 7:30pm; Fri., 8pm; Sat., 5 and 8pm; Sun., 3:30 and 6:30pm. Tickets run $25 to $80. milliondollarquartetlive.com.
