Million Dollar Quartet, Southbank Centre
This December, watch Elvis, Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins come together for a once-in-a-lifetime Christmas musical inspired by the recording session which brought them all together.
On December 4th 1956, sixty years ago this winter, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins came together for a recording session at Sun Records, Memphis. One of the greatest musical sessions in history at the studios of Sam Phillips, this would be the one and only time the four would play together.
Million Dollar Quartet brings the story of that night to life in all its rock 'n' roll glory. Sing along to jukebox classics like 'Great Balls of Fire', 'Blue Suede Shoes' and 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.'
The cast will include Martin Kemp of Spandau Ballet as record producer Sam Phillips, on the night he brought the young music legends together. Since his days in the new wave group, Kemp is most recognised for his role as Steve Owen in Eastenders alongside his many other on-screen performances.
With tunes from the glory days of rock 'n' roll sure to make your toes tap, this is one not to miss for fans of the world's greatest rockers and rollers. Discover the true story of the night that became a defining moment of rock 'n' roll history.
