Million Dollar Quartet Announces 2027 UK Tour

Following it’s London run at The Arts at Marble Arch, Million Dollar Quartet is set to embark on a major UK tour in 2027, visiting 23 venues across the country. Stage and screen star Darren Day is set to reprise his role as Sam Phillips, the founder of Sun Records.

Million Dollar Quartet, directed by Jonathan O’Boyle, will embark on a major UK tour in 2027, following its critically acclaimed run at the Barn Theatre and current London season at The Arts at Marble Arch. The tour will be led by stage and screen favourite Darren Day as Sam Phillips, the visionary producer who created the sound of rock ‘n’ roll.

The musical dramatises the events of 4 December 1956, when music legends Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley came together in Memphis purely by chance, and went on to record a jam session that would go on to shape the trajectory of rock ‘n’ roll. 70 years after that legendary meeting, the show celebrates the night the Million Dollar Quartet came together, telling the story with classic songs from their combined catalogue, including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Walk the Line” and “Hound Dog.”

The tour continues the Barn Theatre’s growing record of developing productions for wider audiences under its Built by Barn banner, including the West End run and UK tour of I’m Sorry Prime Minister, I Can’t Quite Remember, and the forthcoming UK tour of The King’s Speech in 2027.
