Studio Tenn’s ‘Million Dollar Quartet’ to Open at New Theater

By Williamson Source Press Release October 6, 2023

The curtain rises on Studio Tenn’s inaugural season at Turner Theater – its new and permanent performance home at The Factory at Franklin – with a sold-out performance of “Million Dollar Quartet” on October 19, 2023. Individual tickets for the highly anticipated musical production – set to run through October 29, 2023 – are now on sale.

“Million Dollar Quartet” opens the theatre company’s 14th season with an electrifying retelling of a real-life moment in music history. On December 4, 1956, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins gathered for one night to play and sing. A reporter who was there wrote, “This quartet could sell a million.” Consequently, they were dubbed the Million Dollar Quartet. This was their only collaborative performance, a cultural flashpoint that caught rock ‘n’ roll at the moment of creation.
