MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET rings in our New Year - MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET comes to Tampa Jan. 3-8!



MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is the smash hit Broadway musical, inspired by the true story of the famed recording session that brought together rock ‘n’ roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for the first and only time.
