Oof, it’s been a really rough year for Las Vegas shows. Now, another long-running show on The Strip is closing, “Million Dollar Quartet” shutters Dec. 4,\u00a02016.<\/p>\n

The original cast of the Las Vegas production of “Million Dollar Quartet” at a media preview. They rocked it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The list of Las Vegas shows that have closed, or will, in 2016 include: “Jersey Boys”\u00a0at Paris, “Showstoppers” at Wynn Las Vegas, “Puppet Up” at Venetian, Paul Zerdin at\u00a0Planet Hollywood, Dirk Arthur at Westgate, “Jubilee” at Bally’s, Frankie Moreno at\u00a0Planet Hollywood, “Zarkana” at Aria, Matt Goss at Caesars Palace, “Raiding the Rock\u00a0Vault” at Tropicana, “Twisted Vegas” at Westgate and “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding” at\u00a0Bally’s.<\/p>\n

And that’s not even the entire list. We’re drunk.<\/p>\n

\"Million
Even the show’s\u00a0ice sculpture on opening night was sort of awesome.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“Million Dollar Quartet” is easily one of the best musicals on The Strip, and is one of\u00a0the rare shows where performers sing without backing tracks. They also play their own\u00a0instruments. You know, talent, it’s a thing.<\/p>\n

The show made its debut at Harrah’s Las Vegas in February 2013. We were there, of\u00a0course.<\/p>\n

\"Million
We’d tell you the cast member’s names, but we are a Las Vegas blog, not a note-taker.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sadly, “Million Dollar Quartet” has run its course. There’s no word yet as to what\u00a0might replace it.<\/p>\n

The closing date of Dec. 4 wasn’t chosen at random, by the way. The date marks the 60th\u00a0anniversary of the night that inspired “Million Dollar Quartet.” On December 4, 1956,\u00a0Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash got together for a jam\u00a0session at Sun Record Studios in Memphis.<\/p>\n

\"Million
“Million Dollar Quartet” was one of the best shows ever mounted on the Las Vegas Strip.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While the future of production shows on The Strip seems to be in question, there’s no doubt “Million Dollar Quartet” was a success (with more than 1,500 performances), and will be fondly remembered for its charismatic cast, top-notch performances and that time the lead actress adjusted herself on the red carpet.<\/p>\n

\"Million
There’s a fairly good chance this is going to get us unfriended on Facebook. We love you, anyway, Felice!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We recommend you see “Million Dollar Quartet” while you can! Find out more<\/a> at the official site.<\/p>\n
