Georgia Ensemble Theatre is bringing the smash-hit Tony Award-winning musical “Million Dollar Quartet,” directed by Chris Damiano, to the Conant Performing Arts Center, December 14, 2018 – January 12, 2019.
Based on the book by Floyd Mutrux and Colin Escott, Million Dollar Quartet is inspired by the famed recording session that brought together rock 鈥榥鈥� roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for the first and only time.
