The Sharon Playhouse kicks off its 2025 season with the electrifying musical “Million Dollar Quartet,” running June 20 through July 6, with a special holiday matinee on July 4 at 4 p.m. This crowd-pleasing favorite brings to life the legendary 1956 jam session at Sun Records that united Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins for one unforgettable night of music history.

Directed and musically staged by Greg Santos with music direction by Chance Michael Wall, the production features a powerhouse cast performing hits like “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Fever,” “Walk the Line,” and “Hound Dog.” Audiences can expect an evening of nostalgia, energy, and world-class musicianship that captures the spirit of early rock ‘n’ roll.
