The musical, according to press notes, was "inspired by the famed 1956 recording session that brought together legendary rock 'n' roll icons Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley."

Directed by Floyd Mutrux and Eric Schaeffer, with a book by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux, Million Dollar Quartet features Eddie Clendening as Elvis Presley, Lance Guest as Johnny Cash, Levi Kreis as Jerry Lee Lewis, Rob Lyons as Carl Perkins, Kelly Lamont as Elvis' girlfriend Dyanne and Brian McCaskill as Sam Phillips. Billy Shaffer (drums) plays the role of Fluke, and Chuck Zayas (bass) plays Jay Perkins.

Million Dollar Quartet opened at the Goodman Theatre in October 2008 and then moved to Chicago's Apollo Theatre, where it now resides.
