Seattle performer Levi Kreis pushed his portrayal of Jerry Lee Lewis a bit past the limit during Friday's performance of "Million Dollar Quartet" at the Village Theatre in Issaquah.

In the finale of the musical, which depicts a 1956 jam session among Lewis, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins, Kreis jumped from a piano, one of several stunts he performs in the show. Kreis didn't break a leg but he did tear a ligament in his left knee, according to his manager, Rich Overton.

The show must go on. And it will. Overton and Village Theatre marketing director Josh Roberts confirmed that Kreis is cleared to perform for the rest of the show's run, which continues in Issaquah through Oct. 28 and then moves to the Village Theatre's Everett venue Nov. 2 to 18. Minus Kreis' big stunts.
