"On December 4, 1956, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins all found themselves together at Sun Records' recording studio in Memphis and an impromptu jam session happened, which was recorded by the company's founder Sam Phillips. That evening is the basis for Million Dollar Quartet, a highly entertaining musical that made its Arizona regional premiere at the Phoenix Theatre Company two years ago. That production, which played in their Main Stage space, proved so successful that they've brought it back for another run in their smaller Hormel Theatre with almost the entire cast and creative team, and it is still a joyful, crowd pleasing, and thrilling experience.... -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
"...The vibrant, toe-tapping musical extravaganza is perfectly staged by Scott Weinstein...The show and the four performers who artfully craft stirring imitations of these greats is a thrilling delight that brought the capacity opening night audience to its feet. Each member of the quartet essay their own hit tunes and then at the end after their individual foibles and antics are tellingly exposed they merge for a jamming finale that leaves audiences thoroughly entertained...." -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
"... a high-fidelity high voltage juke box tribute to the four icons who history records assembled for an impromptu jam session on December 4th, 1956....Dynamic vocal and instrumental performances by Kavan Hashemian (Presley), Chris Lash (Lewis), Skye Scott (Perkins), and Gregg Hammer (Cash) of that session's songs provoke an irrepressible audience outburst of finger-snapping, toe-tapping elation. One after another of memorable hits ~ including Blue Suede Shoes, Sixteen Tons, Who Do You Love?, Ghost Riders in the Sky, Great Balls of Fire, and Folsom Prison Blues ~ are delivered with verve and panache, making for a total rock and roll love fest that culminates in a furious and rollicking finale.... - Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
