Million Dollar Quartet Reviews

Gen from London

WELL WORTH IT !

Got to agree with some of the previous reviewers (especially hmm ;)). Good show, good tunes, good acting, good time had by all. I dont really know much about this era of music but I found myself tapping along to almost every song. Great ending that left me feeling like I had had an excellent night out. I doubt it will win prizes for the best west end show, but it is certainly a good addition and well worth a visit.

STUNNING FINALE!

Went to see this on the 19 Feb.The audience were mixed in age but all were appreciative of the performances given and the show received a standing ovation at close.Performances were overall very good; Sam Phillips and Jerry Lee were the best of the bunch.Jerry Lee brought a wonderful energy to the stage and was thoroughly entertaining to watch.We all agreed that 'Elvis' was missing something. His singing was not strong enough nor was his stage presence.Also the female character was weak and unnecessary.She added nothing to the show...except a token female presence. Overall the show was entertaining and the finale was stunning.

FORGETTABLE

Saw the show on Friday 11th my daughter and I are avid theatre goers the only good thing about the show was Ben Goddard who played Jerry Lee Lewis he was brilliant.I like to leave a show singing the songs and wanting to see it again but to be honest I listened to the soundtrack of dreamboats on my daughters ipod on the way home, will not be going back.

WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY

Saw this last week. I thought it was really bad. The acting is awkward and the story doesn't allow the actors, obviously talented though they are, to show any range. The Jerry Lee Lewis character is the only redeeming virtue of this dreadful mess. In the end, it's like sitting through 100 minutes of some mediocre 50s cover band. Avoid this show.

SKIP THIS. SEE WOODY SEZ

Million Dollar Quartet is splashy. It is easy to see that there are big dollars behind it. But its nothing really special. If you want something that is, go see the little show on at the Arts Theatre about Woody Guthrie. This acoustic show runs circles around all the other American shows available in the West End at the moment. I've seen it three times now and each time is more special than the one before. It's called Woody Sez and they have a jam session "hootananny" after the Saturday night show. David Lutken is charming, but it is the women that really give it its authentic feel. All in all, a great evening at the theatre.

NOT FOR REAL FANS

I had high expectations for this show. Being a fan of both Elvis and Johnny Cash, and knowing the story of the studio session for some time, I was looking forward to seeing the recreation of that day. Unfortunately, as soon as Elvis opened his mouth, and my girlfriend's grip on my knee tightened, I wanted to leave. I have heard and seen much more convincing imitators than this guy, and he's lucky I wasn't in the audition panel. The acting was no better than "high school show". As for the female singer, I winced every time she approached the microphone, so penetrating and shrill was her voice. Jerry Lee was ok and Perkins was passable. The star of the show for me was Derek Hagen as Johnny Cash. He had the voice and the moves down to a tee. I would've preferred to spend my money on a show with just him doing Cash songs. Maybe it was just us, because the sea of grey haired, leather trousered, bowler hatted, post-menopausal theatre goers surrounding us seemed to be oblivious to how awful
