MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET MUSICAL
Arts at Marble Arch Theatre.
Tuesday 20th October 2026 at 7.30pm
Step inside Sun Records with the Tony Award-winning musical Million Dollar Quartet at the Arts at Marble Arch Theatre. Witness one legendary night when four music icons collided in the recording studio.
On December 4, 1956, four rock ‘n’ roll legends walked into Sun Records in Memphis – and music history was made. Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins find themselves together in the studio, sparking an impromptu jam session that becomes the stuff of legend.
Packed with rock ‘n’ roll, gospel, R&B and country hits, Million Dollar Quartet brings this extraordinary night to life with live performances of “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Hound Dog,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Walk the Line” and more.
Expect legendary music, backstage drama and plenty of rock ‘n’ roll attitude.
Million Dollar Quartet was nominated for three Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical.
A West End regular, Darren Day (Grease, Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat, We Will Rock You) is a Time Out Theatre Award
