Million Dollar Quartet was inspired by the famed recording session that brought together, for the first and only time, rock n’ roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. On December 4, 1956, Sam Phillips, the “Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” gath- ered these four young musicians at Sun Records in Memphis, for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions in history. This electrically-charged produc- tion highlights favorite songs such as “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “That’s All Right,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Walk the Line” and “Hound Dog,” while interweaving a unique story of broken promises, betrayal, secrets and passion. Performances take place Tuesday, November 26 through Sunday, December 1at the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert. For more information or to purchase tickets call 760.340.2787 or go
