This trip will take us to the Old Log Theatre in Excelsior for a great meal and a great show! We will start with lunch in the Old Log Dining Room, which will include a choice of 1) bone-out short rib with mashed potatoes, green beans and au jus, 2) chicken breast with roasted red potatoes, green beans and a sherry cream sauce, 3) vegetarian pasta made with house marinara and fresh vegetables. All meals include rolls, coffee, tea, and dessert. After lunch we will move into the theater for a performance of “Million Dollar Quartet”. This Tony Award winning musical captures the memorable day when four Rock ‘n’ Roll greats made music history. On December 4, 1956, an auspicious twist of fate brought together Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley at Sun Records’ storefront studio in Memphis, TN. The man who made it happen was the “Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll”, Sam Phillips, who discovered them all. This was the only occasion the four legends-to-be played together, and it has come to be known as one of the greatest rock jam sessions of all time.
