FAYETTEVILLE – Totem Pole Playhouse is thrilled to announce the cast and creative team for its 2025 holiday production of “Million Dollar Quartet Christmas,” running Dec. 3–14 at the Majestic Theatre in Gettysburg.
This high-energy musical brings Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins together for a legendary holiday jam session unlike any other — a festive, fictional continuation of the historic 1956 meeting at Sun Records that became one of rock ’n’ roll’s most iconic moments.
Packed with rock classics, Christmas favorites and heartwarming moments of nostalgia, “Million Dollar Quartet Christmas” promises to be the most rockin’ holiday event of the season.
