THE STORY
On December 4, 1956, an extraordinary twist of fate brought Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins together – for the first and only time. That night, they recorded rock ‘n’ roll history.
In this Tony Award-nominated jukebox musical, audiences will experience a blast from the past as they are transported to that infamous December night for one of the greatest jam sessions of all time. Relive this historic moment with some of the greatest hits that defined an era, including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “That's Alright,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Great Balls of Fire,” and much more!

RELAXED PERFORMANCES
Relaxed Performances are specifically designed to welcome patrons who will benefit from a less restricted audience environment. They differ from other performances by allowing patrons to leave and re-enter throughout the show, reducing sensory elements such as light and sound, and eliminating startling effects such as strobe and fog. Babes in arms are welcome at Relaxed Performances.
