Jefferson McDonald’s Great Balls of Fire

Dubbed the “Victor Borge of Rock & Roll” and “born inside a piano,” three-time Broadway World Award winner Jefferson McDonald has been featured in The New York Times and The Boston Globe. A dynamic performer seen at the world-famous Comedy Store, he fuses razor-sharp comedy with dazzling musicianship in his electrifying concert series.

Renowned for his critically acclaimed portrayal of Jerry Lee Lewis in Million Dollar Quartet, McDonald has starred in thirteen productions of the Tony Award-winning musical. His performance has been hailed as “unparalleled” (Broadway World) and “shockingly brilliant” (The Frenetic Peripatetic). Recently honored with the CityBeat Cincinnati Award for Best Musical Actor, he’s praised for his mastery of classical, blues, and rock ‘n’ roll.

McDonald brings his signature energy to Great Balls of Fire, a high-octane tribute to rock’s golden era. Backed by the Great Balls of Fire band, he tears through hits from Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash, and more. With blazing piano skills and an infectious stage presence, every show is an unforgettable ride.

Get ready to sing, stomp, and rock the night away!
