Note: I've waited to bring this to you because of the major
significance of this actual and totally rare occurrence that really,
truly happened on December 4th,
1956. Please see the actual photo of his happening at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Million_Dollar_Quartet
due
to legal parameters, I'm not allowed to post the actual photo, but
please be aware of its historical significance in our world of music.
And a billion KUDOS to the actors/musicians who are, today, working
their musical fingers to the bone to accurately portray these amazing
artists.
After
playing the nightclub and house band circuit for 30 years, and
unknowingly rolled my eyes when these tunes were requested, my eyes
have been opened to my judgmental attitude of days gone by. Today, to
pay homage to these amazing musicians, I would refrain from the
eye-rolling and happily play their music from this day forward. ~

THE
ELECTRIFYING BROADWAY MUSICAL “MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET”
ROCKS
ITS WAY ONTO THE BROADWAY PALM STAGE!
FORT MYERS, Fla –
October 2, 2015 – Broadway Palm is thrilled to present the national
tour of the Broadway musical MILLION DOLLAR
QUARTET playing now through November 21,
2015. This international, Tony® Award-Winning musical is inspired by
the electrifying true story when four rock ‘n’ roll icons came

~*~*~
Million
Dollar Quartet is set on December 4, 1956, when an auspicious
twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and
Elvis Presley together. Sam Phillips, the “Father of Rock ‘n’
Roll” who was responsible for launching the careers of each icon,
gathered the four legendary musicians at the Sun Records storefront
studio in Memphis for the first and only time. The resulting evening
became known as one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll jam sessions in
history. MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary night to
life with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, betrayal
and celebrations featuring timeless hits including Blue Suede
Shoes, That’s All Right, Sixteen Tons, Great Balls of Fire, I Walk

Blues, Hound Dog and more!

MY REVIEW:
I can NOT believe how
many wonderful, once in an a lifetime things happen so quietly that
are totally ground -breaking and amazing. Who of us had a clue about
this ONE small, fast night in history when these incredible men came
together, joked, snarked at and kidded each other and then created
and expounded on the music they created, which was recorded.. Blows
me away.
I played music in clubs
for 30 years, many times as house bands. We were SOOOO tired of
playing the same requests over and over and over again. And then I
saw this dedication to the four. Wish I'd known this back in the day,
my attitude toward the 'old, tired tunes' would have been so much
different.
Continually requested, we
just sighed and hopped into the tune.. again.
Watching these four, the
one that caught my eye continuously was the little guy playing Jerry
Lee Lewis ~ Jason Cohen. Two words for that kid, as wonderful as he
was on stage, I just hope he can come out of that frenetic guy off
stage, De Caf!
As Carl Perkins: Christopher Wren ~ the Amazing of the evening just does NOT stop!!!
As Johnny Cash: Evan Buckley Harris ~ omg.. the voice is EXACT!! chills.
As Jerry Lee Lewis: Jason Cohen ~ a frenetic delight to watch .. no wonder I lost about 3 pounds just watching him!
As Elvis Presley: Skip Robinson ~ sooooo coool!
And their band:
On Stand up Bass Player: Jay Perkins (His portrayal includes acrobatics.. do NOT take your eyeballs off of him, but still keep them on everyone else.. good luck with that!) ~ Jody Alan Lee
On drums as W.S. "Fluke" Holland: Jon Rossi
As the owner of Sun Records, Sam Phillips, the “Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll” who was responsible for launching the careers of each icon, gathered the four legendary musicians at the Sun Records storefront studio in Memphis for the first and only time. ~ Matthew Scott, whose understudy is Justin Droegemueller.
And the hottest woman in the group, ok, the ONLY woman in the group who sings FEVER and is SOOO awesome. I loved it .. and her as Dyanne: Jackey Good, whose under study is Allison Fund.
