Of all the luck! Just after moving out of Southern California it is announced that the musical play, "Million Dollar Quartet" is coming to Redondo Beach tomorrow.
According to The Beach Reporter:
On Dec. 4, 1956, future legends Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash joined Carl Perkins and Sun Records founder Sam Phillips in a fluke jam session that itself would become legend. More than 50 years later, “Million Dollar Quartet,” a musical that dramatizes that session, debuted on a Florida stage.
3D Theatricals, which announced last year that 2018 is their last season in Redondo Beach, opens its production of “Million Dollar Quartet,” Friday, Feb. 9, at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center. Closing night is Sunday, Feb. 18.

I visited the Sun Studio in Memphis in 2016 and the studio where the jam session took place and soda fountain were adorned with photos of the "Million Dollar Quartet".
