B'way Musical CASTING:Elvis, Cash, Perkins & Jerry Lee L
Posted: Wed Nov 11, 2009 5:05 pmSeeking musicians/actors for the new Broadway Musical “Million Dollar Quartet” starting February 2010. We are looking to cast the roles of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash.
This musical captures the memorable day when four Rock n’ Roll greats made music history. On December 4, 1956, an auspicious twist of fate brought together Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley at Sun Records’ storefront studio in Memphis, TN. The man who made it happen was the “Father of Rock’n’Roll,” Sam Phillips, who discovered them all. The four legends-to-be united for the only time in their careers for an impromptu recording session that has come to be known as one of the greatest rock jam sessions of all time.
