"Million Dollar Quartet is based on a real event, capturing one extraordinary night when four music legends–Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley–came together for an impromptu jam session at Sun Records in 1956. Arizona Broadway Theatre's production of this lively jukebox musical brings that historic night vibrantly to life with two dozen hit songs and four immensely talented musicians who embody the distinct personalities and sounds of these iconic rock and country stars."  - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)

"as with all productions of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET when done well, the real strength of this new ABT production is the cast – the excellent musician/performers who, while avoiding the imitation of certain obvious well-known character traits in their portrayals, manage to recreate specific elements of their real-life counterparts in a way that most of us (of a certain age) will immediately recognize and delight in."  - David Appleford, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
