Million Dollar Quartet
If you love Elvis, Johnny Cash or Jerry Lee Lewis then this is the musical for you. It is only 90 minutes with no intermission is much more of a concert of impersonators than a real musical. I was by far the youngest person in the audience, which I guess is to be expected considering who the characters are. The music is good and the impersonations were great. Jerry Lee Lewis was by far my favorite character - the actor reminded me a little bit of Harry Connick, Jr. He was wisecracking, a phenom on the piano and an absolute character. One really fun aspect of the show was that the characters all played their own instruments. At the end they "took a picture" onstage and then showed the real picture taken when the fearsome foursome played back in 1958. It was enjoyable and entertaining.
