Get ready to be transported back to the golden age of rock ‘n’ roll! This fall, North Shore Music Theatre (NSMT) is bringing the electrifying musical ‘Million Dollar Quartet’ to its stage. From September 24 to October 6, 2024, audiences will have the chance to experience the magic of that fateful night when four music legends—Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins—came together for an unforgettable jam session.
A Night That Made Music History
On December 4, 1956, a twist of fate brought these four iconic musicians to Sun Records in Memphis. What followed was one of the greatest impromptu jam sessions in rock ‘n’ roll history. ‘Million Dollar Quartet’ brings this legendary night to life, offering a glimpse into the world of these young artists on the cusp of superstardom.
