Kincaid Regional Theatre (KRT) in Falmouth is abuzz with activity as the theatre prepares to open MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET in mid-July, its most ambitious production in many years. Set construction, costume creation, and music rehearsal began this past week, with the theatre welcoming a cast from across the country. Cast members have arrived from New York City, NY, Orlando, FL, Cincinnati, OH, Lexington, KY and right here from Pendleton County, KY. Many will recognize familiar faces like Sarah Beth Ganey, who played Maria von Trapp in KRT's THE SOUND OF MUSIC in 2022 and Pendleton County native Michael English, as well as a host of new friends.
The Tony® Award-nominated musical MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is set on December 4, 1956, when an extraordinary twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley together at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions ever. MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary December night to life with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, betrayal and celebrations that is both poignant and funny.
Relive the era with the smash-hit sensation featuring an incredible score of rock ‘n’ roll, gospel, R&B and country hits, performed live onstage by world-class actors and musicians. Showcased hit songs include “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Walk the Line,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Who Do You Love?,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “Hound Dog,” and more.
