Million dollar quartet

So last Wednesday my hubby and I headed out for date night to go see the Million Dollar Quartet here in Toronto. For those who don't know what this is, it's about one day in Memphis TN Dec 4th 1956 when Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis got together at the famous Sun Studios for a jam session that went down in history. The play was a high level overview of that day and it was awesome!! We loved every minute of it and I nearly danced my seat right off I was having so much fun lol!

What made it even better was the Saturday before I went to hear Rockabilly artist Eddie Clendening play at the Dominion on Queen and he plays Elvis in the show. Well that Sat after his show he brought the cast down to the bar and the surprised patrons aka me were treated to music by almost all of the performers from the show. I was in Rock n Roll heaven! Eddie even came over to talk to us afterwards. Amazing night! So needless to say it made the show on Wednesday that much more special.

That said I recommend going to this show AND going to Memphis and doing the Sun Studios Tour at some point in your life. You will not regret either. And on that note here is an outfit post of what I wore that night. A swing dress I purchased in Dublin and a teeny tiny store in a market.
