Million Dollar Jam Session wants you!!!! Review by: Diract 66, Mar 20, 2012 |
| The small off-broadway house is perfect for this show. Big and loud evening of enjoyable fun for everyone. Very High Energy performancces from all the actor/musicians. Not only the main characters Elvis, Johnny, Carl, and Jerry, but the two backup musicians are also wonderful. In fact, the Bass player steals the show. The setting is very functional being the inside of a very small recording studio and the outside street. A Unit set that is ... read more very detailed if you take the time to look, especially the sound booth. It is the story that might have taken place between these artists in the true incident of a meeting/Jam Session between all four at Sun Records in 1956. Wheather you are old enough to remember these songs or not, will not make a difference. Young people in the audience were also entranced and involved. Just when you think the music can't get better, there is a finale that will bring you to your feet clapping and wanting to dance, if you haven't had that feeling already. A great ninety minute plus story/concert entertainment. I now feel that I was at the Million Dollar Quartet Jam Session!!!! |

Pure Fun Review by: Manhattanite, Dec 18, 2011 |
| The music is the reason to see this show, but I was very impressed with the acting, too. The actors don't try to impersonate the characters, but they are very convincing. The day I saw it, the understudy went on for the Johnny Cash character, and he was terrific! It's high energy, nonstop music and fun. You'll want to get up and dance, but there's no room. |

A lot of fun Review by: DannyRose, Apr 10, 2011 |
| This is a very enjoyable show, even for those not able to recall the songs. Performances are top-notch (the understudy for Carl Perkins was terrific), playing and singing all songs. My only minor complaint is that this sort of show is more in tune with a Las Vegas or cruise ship show, not Broadway. |

Great rocking show! Review by: joan, Feb 16, 2011 |
| Just saw it and had a blast. Very fun evening of music and story and great ensemble acting. I'm always a little amazed when folks have it all singing, and acting and playing, and I mean PLAYING an instrument. Reminds me of the Hollywood legend thing. Anyway... just great! Let yourself go and have a great time! |

You have to see this show! Review by: del, Sep 26, 2010 |
| Incredible show. The music was great. The young man who plays Johnny Cash not only is a dead-ringer for him physically, but sounds just like him. The other cast members are good too, but he steals the show. A great night!! |

Rock & Roll History, leave feeling upbeat and singing Review by: Theatregoers 50+, Sep 19, 2010 |
Reallly good, not great.. but Jerry Lee Lewis was spectacular! Learned History of how all tie together.
The letdown was Elvis, looks like him, but weak in vocals and charisma, after Perkins, Cash and Lewis who were fantastic, it was a letdown where he should have been pinnacle... Show is not Jersey Boys, storyline not as flowing, but the last 10 minutes, the encore, is dynamic and even Elvis comes alive...it is fantastic and you leave upbeat ... read more and singing! |

See it! Review by: smileys101, Jul 28, 2010 |
| I really enjoyed this show. I didn't really know what to expect going into it, but for a small cast and minimal scenary, they made it work. The actors (and actress!) were very talented, and I was incredibly impressed with their musical skills. The one thing I might complain about are the mics. They picked up the instruments and the singing well, but when they were just speaking lines, it was sometimes hard to hear. Overall, I went ... read more home happy. |

SO MUCH FUN! Review by: Brian, Jun 26, 2010 |
| The actors really resembled their characters extremely well, in resemblence and especially voice. Voices were amazing! So much fun! There is no intermission, so it feels somewhat shorter in length then other shows, but that was understandable considering they just continued to perfom song after song. And if you don't know the story of how cash, perkins, presley and lewis got their start, then you will enjoy learning that story as well. |

Rock and Roll History Review by: brooklyn lady, May 16, 2010 |
| Saw this play on May 15. It was fun. Interesting to see how these legends are played by the actors. They do not look like them and rely on copying their physical traits in the performances. The actor playing Jerry Lee Lewis adds the most fun to the show. I guess the original JLL was more outgoing than the other legends. You here some great music and get to know some of the ins and outs of how the careers of these legends developed. ... read more The actress playing Elvis' girlfriend is outstanding. Your eyes are on her as she sings her songs. The show is short and I was grateful for the encore performances with all its glitz and lights, music and wild ending. |
