I cannot recommend Million Dollar Quartet highly enough - the performances are amazing, the cast do all the singing and playing themselves and sound fantastic. Rehearsal photography always happens early on, before the actors have had much of a chance to learn the show, but everyone sounded amazing from a very early stage. I have also taken the production photographs for the show, which I shall blog about later on, and the production looks brilliant, if you are a fan of the music of Elvis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash or Jerry Lee Lewis you won't be disappointed. Directed by Eric Schaeffer with musical arrangement and supervision by Chuck Mead, Million Dollar Quartet is now showing at the Noel Coward Theatre.
