Rock ‘n’ roll roots on stage

PHOTOGRAPHY BY BILL HOENK

A chance meeting at a Memphis studio becomes a full-blown musical event in Million Dollar Quartet, now playing at Bennett Hall. This Theatre Workshop of Nantucket production recreates the real-life 1956 recording session that brought together rock 'n' roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins. The cast of actor-musicians plays every song live, with hits like Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog, and Folsom Prison Blues. Performances run through August 23.
