I just have to share this with you guys...
(Somebody bring Gazza to this thread NOW, please!)

Last night I went to see the Million Dollar Quartet.

For those of you that do not know what the Million Dollar Quartet is (or was) - ya'll need to get the fuck out of this thread now and save yourself some embarrassment.

As I was sayng...
I received tickets to this show as part of my birthday present.  I was a little reluctant to go, to be honest (or I would have purchased these for myself when they first went on sale).

All I can say is, "Oh...my...God!"

In one word:  "FLOORED!"

Sadly, this show is running in Chicago through June with plans on moving on to Broadway with the hopes of touring Europe in early 2010.

If anyone has the opportunity to check it out...DO IT!

Here's a link to their website - well worth the time to take a peek at it... http://www.milliondollarquartetlive.com/



Hey G - were your ears ringing last night?

Thanks for the link, Pammy. Just as well because when I saw you say youd seen the Million Dollar Quartet, I was wondering what you were on!

Had no idea there was a musical about it. I'm not normally someone who'd be into musicals, but as I loved The Buddy Holly Story, I reckon I'd like this too. Hopefully it'll come this way next year.

It was a great idea, platter - one of which I'm so happy came to life.  Such an awesome story, indeed!

Gazza - to heck with waiting.   Get your tail on over and we'll go.  I will check this out again before it leaves town.

I got this tape of the real thing years ago. Someone had luckily turned on the tape machine. It's a jam session not a show. But I understand and appreciate the work put in by this send up. Wish I could see it. I'm a big fan of these 4. Jerry Lee Steal the Show, Elvis was actually at the Piano until the Killer Showed up. Can you imagine. What a group.
