Feel the Beat of Million Dollar Quartet at Theatre Workshop of Nantucket

A Rock ’n’ Roll Legend, Live and Up Close

This summer, Nantucket is taking a wild, toe-tapping ride through one of music history’s most iconic evenings. Million Dollar Quartet brings to life the legendary 1956 jam session at Sun Records, where Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins collided in a sonic explosion of gospel, R&B, country, and pure rock ’n’ roll.

Under the energetic direction of Tony nominee Hunter Foster, the production unfolds in real time at Bennett Hall—no backing tracks, just live music and raw talent from an all-star cast of actor-musicians.

“Audiences will most likely enjoy Million Dollar Quartet for the same reasons they’ve been flocking to Jersey Boys since its opening.”
