The Barn Theatre in Cirencester has announced the full cast and creative team for the return of Million Dollar Quartet.

Directed by Jonathan O’Boyle and featuring a book by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux, the production tells the story of the legendary night on 4 December 1956 when Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley came together at Sun Records in Memphis for an impromptu jam session that would go on to become a defining moment in rock ‘n’ roll history.

The show features classic songs including “Blue Suede Shoes”, “Fever”, “Walk The Line” and “Hound Dog”.

Joining previously announced star Darren Day as music producer Sam Phillips will be Connor Payne as Elvis Presley, Christopher Erasmus as Johnny Cash, Joe Bence reprising his role as Jerry Lee Lewis, and Joey Bradick as Carl Perkins. The cast also includes Jenay Naima as Dyanne, Geraint Downing as Brother Jay and Josh Haberfield as WS “Fluke” Holland.

The creative team includes choreographer Joanna Goodwin, set and costume designer Libby Watson, lighting designer Alex Musgrave, sound designer Nick Lodge and musical supervisor Lee Freeman.

The show will run from Monday 15 June to Saturday 22 August, with a national press night on Thursday 18 June.
