The 62nd anniversary of a seminal moment in rock and roll will be celebrated on Tuesday night.
It was on Dec. 4, 1956 that Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash gathered at Sun Records Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. What followed was an impromptu jam session and recording by the four legends.
It also became the inspiration for the play Million Dollar Quartet now running at Theatre NorthWest and in that spirit a pre-show chat will be held with Jack Grinhaus, TNW's artistic director and director of this production, about rock and roll impresario Sam Philips, Sun Records and this historic recording session.
It starts at 7 p.m. in the TNW lobby, an hour before the actors take to the stage for that night's showing.
Also, the run as been extended by an eight additional shows and now ends on Dec. 20.
