The good folks at Allied Live are making the sure the music doesn’t die. One night at Sun Studios, four giants got together to play some songs. Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins sat around a piano, belting out tunes to no one in particular. No records came out of that session. Based on that night, “Million Dollar Quartet” has graced the stage over 1,000 nights and there’s no sign of slowing down. If you’re wondering what to get the music lover on your Christmas list, a trip to Lincoln Park to see the music come to life isn’t a bad idea.
The direction team has been hanging posters for the Million Dollar Quartet throughout the north side of Chicago.
“Million Dollar Quartet” runs Wednesday through Sunday at the Apollo Theater with some extra performances on Monday and Tuesday for the holidays. For tickets and more information about the musical, please visit milliondollarquartetlive.com.

The highly successful rock and roll musical “Million Dollar Quartet” will hopefully make your Black Friday experience a little better. Mister Cash, Lewis, Perkins and Presley will be performing a mini-concert on Friday at 10am at the Gurnee Mills mall. Take a minute from the shopping extraveganza and listen to a few tunes.
The direction team will be at this one-off event distributing discount offers and the musical’s soundtrack. Stop by and say hello. We’ll be the ones with the banners on our backs.
“Million Dollar Quartet” can be seen at the Apollo Theater in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. Please visit milliondollarquartetlive.com for tickets and information.

What’s to be said about MDQ that we haven’t said before? The runaway hit musical which is now on Broadway has a new cast and an extended run right here in Chicago! Come see the story of how Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley played at Sun Records’ storefront studio in Memphis for the first and only time.
We are working with our friends at Allied Live to launch another poster distribution in Chicago. We’ve been promoting MDQ since it first began two years ago, and we couldn’t be happier with the shows success. With performances scheduled through September, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t see it!

We previously mentioned that we will be distributing coasters to bars and venues in and around the Apollo Theater in support of the latest show extension of MDQ. In addition to that, we are also targeting Chicago campuses including Columbia College, Loyola, and DePaul for a massive poster distribution. Our teams will be out hanging up posters which feature removable tabs that you will want to get your hands on since they allow students to purchase $20 tickets to the show. Be on the look out these next few weeks for the posters, and take advantage of this great deal!
Million Dollar Quartet is at the Apollo Theater through March 28th. Please visit www.apollochicago.com for more information.

Soon, the unstoppable Million Dollar Quartet will be debuting on Broadway. But, that doesn’t mean the curtain is closing in Chicago just yet. MDQ is back for another extension, this time through the month of March! We have played a significant role in the promotion of this production over the past year, doing everything from hand-2-hand distributions to banner back pack promos, to on-the-street video interviews. This time around, we’ll be distributing coasters to bars, pubs, theaters, and other venues in the city. If you happen to spot one, be sure to hold on to it in order to get an $8 discount on select tickets!
Million Dollar Quartet is at the Apollo Theater through March 28th. Please visit www.apollochicago.com for more information.

If you were at the annual Lights Festival or Thanksgiving Day Parade, there’s a good chance you saw folks wearing Million Dollar Quartet banner packs, and handing out flyers to people waiting patiently for the parade. That was us! We handed out thousands of flyers (that we printed in house!) which contained $8 off coupons for tickets. MDQ has been running strong for over a year now, and is about to make the jump to New York for a run on Broadway. We have been involved with the production from day one, and were happy to do a holiday push. If you haven’t checked it out, go and see the show that has become a musical sensation!
Million Dollar Quartet is at the Apollo Theater through January 3rd.

A few weeks ago, it was announced that the hit musical will be making its way to Broadway in the Spring. But don’t worry, because it’s not leaving Chicago just yet. Back for another extension, we’re helping out the show that has grown into a sensation by launching a poster distribution campaign through out the city. MDQ will be playing through the holiday’s, so be sure to see it before it moves out east!

The musical that no one can keep down is stronger than ever! Playing through the month of August thanks to multiple extensions, Million Dollar Quartet is still experiencing sold out shows and rave reviews. We’ve been organizing teams to travel all over the city to promote at various events and festivals including Ribfest, Volleywood, and starting this week the annual Movies in the Park. There’s a good chance you have seen or talked to our teams as they are conducting on the street interviews collecting testimonials, and testing people’s knowledge of MDQ. Be sure to purchase tickets while you can, because sooner or later, Elvis will have to leave the building.
Million Dollar Quartet is currentyly at the Apollo Theatre. For more information visit www.apollochicago.com.
