MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET to be Presented By Theatre Under The Stars at Miller Outdoor Theatre

Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS) is excited to announce its annual FREE summer musical theatre production, Million Dollar Quartet, playing July 12-17, 2016 at Miller Outdoor Theatre.

Million Dollar Quartet is the smash-hit musical inspired by the famed recording session that brought together rock 'n' roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for the first and only time.

On December 4, 1956, history was made when these four young musicians gathered at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest impromptu jam sessions ever. It brings to light the extraordinary story of broken promises, secrets, and the once-in-a-lifetime celebration of four friends that is both poignant and heartwarming. Million Dollar Quartet brings that legendary night to life, featuring a score of rock hits including "Blue Suede Shoes," "Fever," "That's All Right," "Sixteen Tons," "Great Balls of Fire," "Walk the Line," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," "Who Do You Love?," "Matchbox," "Folsom Prison Blues," "Hound Dog" and more.

This thrilling musical brings you inside the recording studio with four major talents who came together as a red-hot rock 'n' roll band for one unforgettable night.

TUTS' presentation of Million Dollar Quartet is sponsored in part by The Brown Foundation, Inc., the George & Mary Josephine Hamman Foundation, The Wortham Foundation, Inc., Wells Fargo and by the City of Houston through the Miller Theatre Advisory Board and the Texas Commission on the Arts.

TUTS' 2015-16 season is generously sponsored by CHI St. Luke's Health. For all of TUTS' shows, air transportation is provided by United Airlines. Media sponsors include ABC-13 and Houston Chronicle.
