Cast members Lee Ferris (Carl Perkins), Cody Slaughter (Elvis Presley), Martin Kaye (Jerry Lee Lewis) and Derek Keeling (Johnny Cash) joined The K-EARTH 101 Morning Show in studio this morning to give a little live preview of this award-winning musical.

The musical tells the tale of the four founding fathers of rock and roll getting together with the help of Sam Philips for the first and only time at Sun Records in Memphis on December 4, 1956. The result was a masterpiece jam session that has been regarded as one of greatest recordings in rock history.

The Million Dollar Quartet not only are the spitting images of their musical counterparts, but also prove that they can sing and play  just like the real deal.

The show features an incredible selection of songs recorded on that historic night including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” and “That’s Alright.”
