Million Dollar Quartet a terrific show: 12/24/1956

Just saying.
The amazing thing about this show is that the actors have to be musicians, have to perform on stage, play their instruments, play them great and act at the same time. The Jerry Lee Lewis actor is phenomenal on piano, playing just like the real guy did, banging away at the keys. The best musician in the cast is playing Carl Perkins, his guitar work is fantastic. The Johnny Cash player looks the part allright, towering over the other players, sings pretty good too. The non-fatal flaw in the show is Elvis. The actor looks good, sings good, plays guitar good. But he ain't no King. With all the professional Elvis impersonators out there doing Vegas and travelling acts, I was disappointed they couldn't find a better pretender to the throne.

But a great show. If a company comes to your town, see it.
