Million Dollar Quartet Christmas Reviews

Chicago Tribune - Somewhat Recommended

"...Though I tend to favor musicals with meatier plots and more original music, I can’t rain too much on the parade of “Million Dollar Quartet Christmas.” Anyone who enjoys this style of music — and, clearly, there are plenty of Chicagoans who do — should have a good time at this upbeat show."

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...Going back to the show itself, it is absolutely excellent, with its focus on larger-than-life recording artists who have played such a prominent place in America’s popular music. While the retreat to the 1950s might be a reminiscence for some, this bright, light, bouncy production might be a novelty for others. Above all, the twist on familiar Christmas favorites gives the performance added warmth and charm. Since the cast and crew impart a joyousness that can only be felt by showing up in person, this musical is a MUST SEE!"

Chicago Theatre Review - Recommended

"...The entire gifted cast of this show provides their own accompaniment, but with additional contributions by talented Jed Feder (as Fluke), on drums, and Cody Siragusa (as Brother Jake), on bass. This lovely, loving production, Directed with sensitivity and understanding by Scott Weinstein, is just one more holiday entertainment available for Chicago theatergoers. We have so many choices for Christmas entertainment, but as a show that's full of heart and humor, along with songs that are a real blast from the past, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET CHRISTMAS sparkles with homey holiday magic. And it will have audiences of all ages Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree."

Buzz Center Stage - Highly Recommended

"...Million Dollar Quartet Christmas brings the legends back together - Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins - for a high-energy holiday jam at Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee. Packed with rock 'n' roll hits and festive favorites, this jukebox musical delivers a nostalgic blast of seasonal cheer. Now staged in the round at Marriott Theatre, it's a toe-tapping celebration you won't want to miss."

Chicago Theater and Arts - Recommended

"...But the best reason to see “Million Dollar Quartet Christmas” at Marriott Theater is JP Coletta as Jerry Lee Lewis. Coletta, who has a long list of regional credits, embodies Jerry Lee’s musical talent and oversized character as captured in the original show."

"...There's a whole lotta shakin' goin' on with the Marriott Theatre production of "Million Dollar Quartet Christmas." Running through January 5, the 90-minute sequel to "Million Dollar Quartet" with book by Colin Escott is brilliantly directed by the Jeff-award winning Scott Weinstein, who developed and directed the show for the national tour. The Marriott production is well cast, evenly paced, and superbly staged in the intimate in-the-round configuration with actors always visible to the audience. Weinstein is supported by the flawless music direction of Matt Deitchman and music supervision by Ryan T. Nelson. There are 21 songs including a seamless blend of 50's rock 'n' roll hits and holiday favorites performed by each actor who play their own instrument with vim, vigor, and verve."
