Elvis Presley. Jerry Lee Lewis. Carl Perkins. Johnny Cash. Four legends. One unforgettable night. On December 4th, 1956, four extraordinary artists ran into each other while visiting producer Sam Phillips’ Sun Records studio in Memphis. They began playing together, melding their gospel, country, blues, R&B, pop, and bluegrass roots into the new genre called rock-and-roll. Based on that real-life event, this Tony® Award-nominated musical takes you inside the greatest jam session in history, exploding with hits like “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Who Do You Love?,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “I Walk the Line,” “Hound Dog,” and more.
