Audiences are invited to relive one of the most magical nights in rock and roll history — but this time with a decidedly festive twist — when Bucks County Playhouse presents a special holiday version of the musical “Million Dollar Quartet Christmas.”

RING OF FIRE: THE MUSIC OF JOHNNY CASH runs through Sunday, September 11th, 2022 at the Ivoryton Playhouse. The show takes its name from the title of one of the hit tunes of a Country Music icon — singer-songwriter Cash — but RING OF FIRE, conceived by William Meade and created by Richard Maltby Jr., is more than a biography of The Man in Black.

David Appleford hails MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET CHRISTMAS as 'a genuine, rock ‘n roll musical theatre thrill ride.' Just right for the Holiday Season! Runs through January 2nd at The Phoeni Theatre Company.

I’ve always had a soft spot for the songs of yesteryear. Jukebox musicals usually leave me in a happy place by the time the show ends. In the case of Million Dollar Quartet at Arvada, this show left me feeling the same way I felt from the moment it started - joyful.

Paper Mill has announced the return of its wildly popular Brookside Cabaret starting Wednesday, June 9. The outdoor series, which debuted last summer, features world-class performers and fine dining under the stars at the F.M. Kirby Carriage House Restaurant.

The Playbillies have released a cover of the 'Elephant Love Medley' from Moulin Rouge in collaboration with many of their friends from the Broadway community. 

Nothing says musicals like Goodspeed and nothing says summer like an outdoor concert. 

Now in the middle of their spectacular fourteenth season, the John W. Engeman Theatre continues to dazzle with an excellent rendition of Million Dollar Quartet. It is a dramatization of a real jam session between Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins. The Engeman's terrific incarnation of the jukebox musical by Floyd Mutrux and Colin Escott runs through March 1st at the exquisite Northport venue.

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET opened at The John W. Engeman Theater on Thursday, January 16. The production runs through Sunday, March 1, 2020.
