In its 15th season, Studio Tenn brings yet another brilliant production to their repertoire.

Million Dollar Quartet Christmas is a vibrant jukebox musical that brings to life a legendary moment in rock ‘n’ roll history. The audience is swept into a jam session from December 4, 1956, at Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee, where four icons of music, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins, gather under the guidance of Sun Records founder Sam Phillips. Though short-lived, this impromptu session was a pivotal event in music history. Million Dollar Quartet Christmas captures the energy with electrifying performances from Co-Music Director Jefferson McDonald (Jerry Lee Lewis), Co-Music Director Kurt Jenkins (Carl Perkins), Gregg Hammer (Johnny Cash), and Cole (Elvis Presley).
