JASON DONOVAN TO PLAY SAM PHILLIPS IN THE
BROADWAY AND WEST END SMASH HIT
The Million Dolllar
Quartet
Newcastle Theatre
Royal
Monday 6th
– Saturday 11th March 2017
Million Dollar Quartet the Tony Award-winning
Broadway musical and West End smash hit is to embark on its first ever UK Tour starring
Jason Donovan as ‘Father of Rock and Roll’ Sam Phillips.
Inspired by the true story of the famed recording
session where Sam Phillips, the "Father
of Rock 'n' Roll" brought together icons Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins,
Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. Million
Dollar Quartet includes more than 20 legendary rock ‘n’ roll hits, including Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog, I Walk The Line and Great
Balls of Fire.
On December 4, 1956, history was made when these four young musicians
gathered at Sun Records in Memphis for
what would be one of the greatest impromptu jam sessions ever. It brings to
light the extraordinary story of broken promises, secrets, and the
once-in-a-lifetime celebration of four friends that is both poignant and heart-warming.
Million Dollar Quartet brings that legendary night
to life, featuring a score of rock hits which bring you inside the recording
studio with four major talents who came together as a red-hot rock 'n' roll
band for one unforgettable night.
