Peter Duncan stars in new tour of Million Dollar Quartet

Where: Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham

When: October 2 to 7, 2017

Tony award-winning West End hit Million Dollar Quartet is embarking on a second UK tour this autumn, including a date in Cheltenham.

The show is inspired by the true story of the famed recording session where Sam Phillips brought together icons Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley.

Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp and Peter Duncan share the role of the legendary record producer who brought the four recording stars together to create music history - having both previously taken on the role in celebrated performances at the Southbank Centre, and on tour, respectively.

Peter Duncan will take the lead role when Million Dollar Quartet arrives in Cheltenham in October. The Olivier Award nominated actor, who first came to attention as a presenter on the iconic television show, Blue Peter, began his career on stage with Laurence Olivier's National Theatre company at the Old Vic and subsequently went on to be Olivier Award nominated for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance in The Card.

In addition to his roles on stage, Peter has also created original pantomimes at Hackney Empire and Broadway Theatre as well as writing and directing Oxford Playhouse's annual Christmas production.
