Although its stints in London, on Broadway and off-Broadway weren't as long as producers might have hoped, Million Dollar Quartet continues to thrive on a national tour and at Chicago's Apollo Theatre. In fact, this long-running Tony Award-winning musical has entered its fifth year in the Windy City. So see why Chicagoans have embraced this show that is inspired by the night in 1956 that brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley all together for a historic jam session at Sun Records in Memphis. Million Dollar Quartet is currently booking through April at the Apollo Theatre, 2540 N. Lincoln Ave. Performances vary, but are largely at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays, 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays, 5 and 8 p.m. Saturdays, and 3:30 and 6:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $25-$85; call 773-935-6100 or visit www.milliondollarquartetlive.com . Photo by Paul Natkin |
