MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is the new smash-hit musical inspired by the famed recording session that brought together rock’n’roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for the first and only time. On December 4, 1956, the four young musicians gathered at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam session ever. MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary night to life, featuring a score of rock hits including, “Blue Suede Shoes”, “Fever”, “That’s All Right”, “Walk the Line”, “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On”, “Sixteen Tons”, “Hound Dog” and many more!

SEEKING:
ELVIS PRESLEY – (twenties) – actor/singer/guitar player to portray Elvis in his 20’s at the beginning of his career. Must be familiar with his music and able to play guitar; should sound like and somewhat look like Elvis without being an “impersonator”. Please prepare an Elvis Presley song (or song in that style or from the era) and accompany yourself on the guitar. In the production, Elvis sings: “Memories Are Made of This”, “That’s All Right”, “Long Tall Sally”, “Peace in the Valley”, “Party”, “Hound Dog”.
