'Quartet' Bound for Broadway

'Million Dollar Quartet,' a musical co-directed by Washington's Eric Schaeffer and based on the legendary 1956 jam session of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins, is headed to Broadway.

The production, which has been playing for almost a year to solid-gold reviews in Chicago, will open in the spring, the show's producers announced Tuesday.

Schaeffer, 47, the co-founder and artistic director of Signature Theatre in Arlington, has developed an award-winning track record of work locally and outside the region. On Broadway, he directed 'Putting It Together,' a Stephen Sondheim revue, in 1999, and also 2008's 'Glory Days,' about four friends who reunite a year after high school. In addition, Schaeffer has directed the national tour of 'Big: The Musical,' an adaptation of the Tom Hanks movie, and the London debut of 'The Witches of Eastwick.'
