The iconic jukebox musical Million Dollar Quartet is guaranteed to blow the roof off the NorShor Theatre! On December 4, 1956, an extraordinary twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley together at Sun Records in Memphis for one of the greatest jam sessions ever. Million Dollar Quartet brings that legendary night to life with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, and celebrations. Relive the era with an incredible score of rock ‘n’ roll, gospel, R&B and country hits: “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Walk the Line,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Who Do You Love?,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Hound Dog,” and many more — performed live on stage!

Waitress

Featuring original music and lyrics by Grammy Award winner Sara Bareilles (“Brave,” “Love Song”), Waitress promises to be a must-see treat for both Northlanders and visitors this summer. At the heart of this hit Broadway musical is Jenna Hunterson, a waitress and expert pie-maker in a small town, who dreams of escaping her rocky marriage. When an unexpected pregnancy and a local pie-baking contest offer her a shot at a fresh start, Jenna must summon the courage to rebuild her life and find her own recipe for happiness. Along the way, she finds strength in the support of her friends Becky and Dawn—and in the steamy affair she begins with her doctor. This “little slice of heaven” (Entertainment Weekly) celebrates friendship, motherhood, and the magic of a well-made pie.
