Brinin’ Back The Quartet With Holiday Holly and Spangles
Elvis, Carl, Johnny and Jerry Lee return for the Million Dollar Quartet Christmas at Actors’ Playhouse with the same virtues and flaws as the previous editions: impressive musicians with winning personalities delivering a driving evening of kick-butt rock and a few holiday carols mixed in.
Can’t Tell You Why, But Savor ‘Now and Then’ When You Can
