LUFKIN, TX. Imagine Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins together. The year is 1956, when a twist of fate brings these legendary icons to the Sun Records storefront in Memphis, for the first and only time, to create the greatest rock ‘n’ roll jam session in history. That is exactly what happens in this blockbuster Broadway production coming to Lufkin for two performances in April. MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET will have a “whole lotta shakin’ going on” at the Temple Theater on the Angelina College campus Tuesday April 21 and Wednesday April 22, starting at 7:30 pm. Tickets for the Tony Award-Winning musical range from $35-$45 (Premium/Box $55). Angelina Arts Alliance is proud to bring MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET to Lufkin along with show sponsors Brookshire Brothers Charitable Foundation and Loving Auto Group. 2014-2015 Season sponsors are First Bank and Trust East Texas and Georgia Pacific.   

“This National Tour has been selling out stops all along the way to Lufkin –and even though we still have some great seats available—we expect strong ticket sales through the Wednesday night show,” stated Tracy Pinkerton, Arts Alliance Executive Director. “MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET has a huge fan following, and we are seeing lots of tickets sold out of town!”  “ELVIS is played by Jacob ‘Jake’ Rowley, from Lumberton Texas, an East Texas native son with lots of family and friends coming to Lufkin to cheer him on.” Tracy added. With a song list that includes timeless hits - “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Ring of Fire,” “Hound Dog,” Great Balls of Fire,” and more – you’ll be on your feet roaring for more!
