Million Dollar Quartet is returning in another exciting co-production with Maine State Music Theatre in August, and Scott Moreau is back to helm the production and star as Johnny Cash!
After the overwhelming response to MSMT's 2018 production, audiences have been asking them to bring this rock ’n’ roll phenomenon back ever since. Now, we are teaming up once again following last summer’s sold-out success with The Irish and How They Got That Way.
But don’t just take our word for it — hear from Scott himself about why this show is so special and what audiences can expect when Million Dollar Quartet comes to The Public Theatre stage in Lewiston later this summer. Playing August 26 - Sept 13. Read more and get your tickets today at ThePublicTheatre.org
