On Oct.
1, 2013, Stratosphere headliner Frankie
Moreno joined the cast of the smash-hit musical
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET at Harrah’s Las Vegas for a special guest encore
appearance, performing the Jerry Lee Lewis hit,“Rockin’ My Life Away.” To view

Moreno
took the stage following the finale of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET where he was
welcomed with applause and cheering from the packed Showroom. One of the
highlights of the performance included a moment where Moreno and Martin Kaye
(Jerry Lee Lewis) engaged in “piano four hands,” where each was playing
simultaneously.
Named
“Headliner of the Year in Las Vegas,” Moreno is a classically trained musician
and entertainer, making him a natural fit to add to the line-up of Strip
headliners who have joined MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET to celebrate the music of the
production’s era through live jam sessions.
Previous entertainers that have graced the stage with the cast include
Bally’s Las Vegas headliner and one-woman vocal phenomenon, Véronic DiCaire,
and “American Idol” winner Taylor Hicks.
