South Coast Repertory's production of "Million Dollar Quartet" was directed by Bart DeLorenzo and featured a talented cast of actors who brought the story to life. The play's music was performed live by the cast, adding to the energy and authenticity of the performance.
The show’s real star is its live music. Performed by actor-musicians who play their own instruments, the cast tears through classics like “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Hound Dog,” and “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On.” The energy in the room is infectious, and it’s easy to forget you’re in a theater—not a cramped recording studio in 1956.
