Coast Presents Million Dollar Quartet, live at the Civic in Auckland! The smash hit Broadway and West End musical that celebrates a historic moment in rock ’n’ roll history.
On December 4, 1956, there was an unplanned get-together of the four most popular rock icons of the time - Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins - in Sun Studios, Memphis, Tennessee. Once they assembled, they figured they might as well have fun and play some music. The outcome was one of the greatest jam sessions of all time.
The prophetic, real-life event inspired music historian and writer Colin Escott, and film writer and producer Floyd Mutrux, to create a book and stage version of what transpired that night. Since its debut in 2006, the musical version of Million Dollar Quartet has enjoyed hugely successful runs on Broadway, at London’s West End and tours of the USA and the UK.
