This Production Just Broke Bucks Co. Playhouse Box Office Records

NEW HOPE, PA — Bucks County Playhouse’s production of “Million Dollar Quartet” has surpassed expectations and broken the Playhouse’s box office records.

According to information from the Playhouse, "Million Dollar Quartet" is now the theater’s most attended and top grossing production. In light of this success, the show has been extended. It will now run through Sept. 29. It was previously scheduled to end on Sept. 15.

According to a description from the Playhouse:

“Million Dollar Quartet” depicts one of the most magical nights in rock and roll history. It was on December 4, 1956, when an unlikely quartet of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carol Perkins — all young artists in their 20s on the verge of superstardom — accidentally converged on Sun Records in Memphis for one of music history’s most famous jam sessions."

It is the second show to break the Playhouse’s box office record this season. “Million Dollar Quartet” took less than three weeks into its six-week run to surpass the recent production of “42nd Street,” the Playhouse said.

“The Playhouse is on a roll,” said Producing Director Tony Award-winning Alexander Fraser. “We’re excited that so many new patrons are discovering Bucks County Playhouse."

If you'd like to see the hit production, here is the schedule: Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m., Wednesdays at 2:00 pm, Thursdays at 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm, Fridays at 8:00 pm, Saturdays at 2:00 pm and 8:00 pm, and Sundays at 2:00 pm. There is an additional evening performance on Wednesday, September 26 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets currently start at $45; special rates are available for groups of 10 or more. For more information, visit buckscountyplayhouse.org, call 215-862-2121, or visit the box office at 70 South Main Street, New Hope, PA.
