A brand-new musical exploring the life and careers of country music legends Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, told through the eyes of their son John Carter Cash.

The book is written by Robert Cary and Des McAnuff, who took years to create a truthful depiction of the iconic couple and the controversy and heartache that plagued their passionate love story. Drawing from the real-life experiences of their son, John Carter Cash, this tale is an honest portrayal of the lives of the famous couple.
