A 90-minute live-band tribute revisits the spontaneous Sun Studio meeting of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins, with music ranging across several 1950s styles. The theater has not named the Billings performers.

The meeting behind One Night in Memphis was a spontaneous jam at Sun Studio on Dec. 4, 1956—not a planned reunion. The Alberta Bair Theater production uses that gathering as a frame for a concert moving among rockabilly, country, gospel and 1950s rock and roll.
The historical gathering brought Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins together at Sun Studio. The tribute draws on that moment, rather than presenting those four musicians as the performers at the Billings engagement.
That distinction matters when choosing the show: its focus is a shared musical world, not a concert billed around one of the four artists alone. The theater describes a 90-minute live performance with a band and no recorded tracks.

The theater describes a mix of rockabilly, country, gospel and 1950s rock and roll. That range gives the concert its organizing idea: music associated with the Sun Studio session sits alongside other styles represented in the production, rather than narrowing the evening to a single genre.
“Blue Suede Shoes,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Great Balls of Fire” and “Hound Dog” are among the titles the theater names. They indicate some of the repertoire, but the listing does not provide a complete setlist or a running order for this date.

John Mueller created and directs the production; the theater also identifies him with Winter Dance Party. Its description says the show features former cast members of the Broadway production Million Dollar Quartet, but does not name the performers appearing in Billings. That Broadway connection describes the production’s background, not a confirmed cast for this engagement.
