VÉRONIC Voices star, Véronic DiCaire, joined
the cast of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET
onstage for a special guest performance at
Harrah’s Las Vegas. Performing the voice of June Carter for the first
time ever, the vocal impressionist sang a duet of “Jackson” alongside MILLION
DOLLAR QUARTET cast member, Benjamin D. Hale, who portrays Johnny Cash in the
production.
Immediately
following the final number of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, the one-woman vocal
phenomenon joined the cast onstage for the Carter-Cash duet. Bringing two hit
Las Vegas productions together in a unique, one-night-only performance,
audience members clapped and sang along to “Jackson,” coming to their feet at
the end with tremendous applause.
This
was the first time a guest performer has been invited to sit in with the Las
Vegas Company for an on-stage jam session. In Chicago and in New York, MILLION
DOLLAR QUARTET has rocked out with performers such as Melissa Etheridge, Kathie
Lee Gifford, Lesley Gore and Jerry Lee Lewis.
