The Marriott Theatre concludes its 50th anniversary season with “Million Dollar Quartet Christmas,” a high-voltage musical celebration.

This holiday season, the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire, Chicagoland’s longest running musical theater, concludes its unforgettable 50th anniversary season with “Million Dollar Quartet Christmas,” a high-voltage musical celebration.
