What would a Million Dollar Quartet sound like to you? Don't worry – the college kids who played at your cousin's wedding can't compare to what director Eric Shaeffer and writers Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux have in mind.

Million Dollar Quartet is an extension of the famous incident on Dec. 4, 1956, when Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins got together at Sun Records in Memphis for an impromptu jam session. When word of the jam hit the presses, the public's imagination went wild, with millions of fans wishing they could have seen these greats all in one place.

And now is your chance.

Eddie Clendening as Elvis, Lance Guest as Cash, Levi Kreis as Lewis and Rob Lyons as Perkins bring these legends back to life in Million Dollar Quartet, imagining the meeting and recreating 21 hit songs. Break out your Blue Suede Shoes – it's time to rock and roll.

Raining Beatles Tribute Magic

The most exciting and entertaining jukebox musical currently running on Broadway has to be Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles.

How could it not be, having an as-good-as-you-can-get tribute band playing some of the most famous rock music in popular culture?!

In Rain, the songs of the Beatles are brought to life as a pseudo-concert experience, spanning their career from the American Beatlemania craze to their final crosswalk album, Abbey Road.

Theatre goers can expect to have a rockin' good time, but not expect to find any dramatic acting or complex storytelling taking place on stage at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre, because that's not what this show is about. It's about being taken back in time, and listening to a live performance by one of classic rocks most famous foursomes – even if it really isn't the original band playing on stage!

That's the genius of this show. The music makes you suspend disbelief and actually get transported into the time-warp that is Rain.

The actors/musicians do a fine job of attempting to pull off the tall order of having to imitate and perform as the most famous four lads from Liverpool – but the music itself is what speaks volumes in their performances.

Ringo (Ralph Castelli), throughout the show, sat dead center stage atop his drum set, smiling and waving to the imaginary audience below him (including us, the actual audience), while Paul (Joey Curatolo) made vain attempts to bat his eyes at the screaming audio track of swooning girls. Most of the show John (Steve Landes) was stoically off to the side or in the corner while playing his guitar, being the more serious Beatle, until he had such solos as "Strawberry Fields Forever" or "A Day in the Life" where he got to sit behind a piano and shine. And George (Joe Bithorn) just looked like he was having one hell of a good time, contaminating the audience with the same good vibes that he was playing his guitar with.

All in all, it was a great musical concert. A chance to hear a live band play some classic hits, while getting to see the closest thing we have to a reunion of the English rock band that knocked our very own American King, Elvis, off his thrown.

In this day and age that's what we Americans love, it's what we cherish – nostalgia. And if nostalgia is what you seek, then this show will pay back by the pounds (current exchange rate considered). I highly recommend Rain as a great time for Beatles fans or just fans of music in general. Enjoy the show!
