London theatre tickets news Full cast announced for Million Dollar Quartet
Thursday, 6 January 2011
People keen to buy London theatre tickets for Million Dollar Quartet may be pleased to know that the full cast has been announced today (January 6th 2011).
Joining the previously-announced Bill Ward as Sam Phillips will be Ben Goddard, Derek Hagen, Robert Britton Lyons and Michael Malarkey.
They will play legendary music stars Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley in the rock musical, which will open officially at the Noel Coward Theatre on February 28th 2011.
Marilyn Evans, Presley's girlfriend in 1956, will also feature in the story and is to be played by Francesca Jackson.
Rehearsals started this week and Goddard told the London Evening Standard he couldn't wait to get started.
"It's the only role in my career that I have actively sought … I have a colossal passion for Fifties music. And I think the show will kick over here," he enthused.
Million Dollar Quartet is based on the true story of when Presley, Cash, Perkins and Lewis all took part in an impromptu jam session organised by Phillips at Sun Records in Memphis in 1956.
