RECORDING ARTIST LEVI KREIS HEADS TO BROADWAY, STARRING AS JERRY LEE LEWIS IN MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET OPENING IN APRIL

The Broadway cast for the musical Million Dollar Quartet has officially been announced.

Originating one of the starring roles is none other than Recording Artist LEVI KREIS. Kreis heads to New York City this spring to play Jerry Lee Lewis and show the Broadway audience what they have been missing the last two years.

New York Times proclaims Mr. Kreis just about pounds a hole in the stage floor with his Converse high tops when he starts flailing away on the keyboard. Million Dollar Quartet is a new musical that captures the music and spirit of a legendary jam session featuring Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley.


MDQ opens at the Nederlander Theatre (208 West 41st Street) on Sunday, April 11with previews beginning Saturday, March 13. The cast also features Eddie Clendening, Lance Guest, Rob Lyons and joining them will be Elizabeth Stanley (Cry-Baby) and Tony Award nominee Hunter Foster (Little Shop Of Horrors, Urinetown).

For this well known singer-songwriter, being cast in the Broadway production is just the icing on the cake after what has been an incredible year.

Releasing his third studio album Where I Belong in 2009, Levi quickly became the name about town with everything falling into place. Levi's video Hardly A Hero was named the #1 Video Of The Year on LOGO. Q's In The Biz Radio (Qnation FM) named Levi the Artist Of The Year. Qbliss awarded Levi with the Creating Change Community Award for Outstanding Song Of The Year for No Apologies.

During the promotion of the new album, Levi was also blowing the roof off of the Apollo Theatre in the Chicago production of Million Dollar Quartet. Levi was nominated for a Jeff Award - Best Supporting Actor, which celebrates excellence in Chicago Theater for his portrayal as Jerry Lee Lewis. The Chicago Tribune named Levi's performance as one of the Best Theater Moments Of The Year. Chicago Sun Times raved such galvanic talent that you know he (Kreis) will not be denied.

Levi is ready to bring his dream to an entirely new level in 2010. Keep your eyes and ears out for Levi's new video single Nothing At All which will be followed up by Gonna Be Alright featuring remixes for the dance clubs.
