MILLION Dollar Quartet, the hit musical which moved from Cirencester’s Barn Theatre to a London season, is going on a national tour in 2027, with 23 major venues all across the country from January to July.

After its sell-out success at the Barn in the summer, Million Dollar Quartet is at The Arts at Marble Arch until December, before opening at the Millennium Centre at Cardiff at the end of January.

On the night of 4th December 1956, four men entered a recording studio in Memphis and made musical history. Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley were brought together by pure chance for a jam session which would go on to shape the trajectory of rock ‘n’ roll. Now, 70 years after that legendary meeting, the show celebrates the anniversary of the night that changed music forever.

In the studio, egos collide, promises are broken and dreams take shape. As the men navigate ambition, rivalry and fame they create the soundtrack that will define an era. Experience the classic songs – “Blue Suede Shoes”, “Fever”, “Walk The Line”, “Hound Dog” (and many more) – in the thrilling atmosphere of that once-in-a-lifetime event.

The show is directed by Jonathan O’Boyle, with book by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux, and a cast led by Darren Day as Sam Phillips, the visionary producer who created the sound of rock ’n’ roll.
