From the opening chords of vintage Country to Rockabilly, Rock n' Roll, searing ballads and gentle songs of love and deep faith, Ring of Fire packs a score that provides a rich fabric in which to lay down the story of Johnny Cash. The show features 38 classic hits - including "I Walk the Line," "A Boy Named Sue," "Folsom Prison Blues," and the title tune -and paints a musical portrait of The Man in Black that is a foot-stompin', crowd-pleasin' salute to a uniquely American legend!
The cast includes Ray Anderson, Benjamin Cowhick, Isabella Duran, S Parker Goubert, Kurt Ochsner and Eric Weinstein.
Richard Maltby conceived and directed the only two musical revues to ever win the Tony Award for Best Musical: Ain't Misbehavin' (1978: Tony, N.Y. Drama Critics, Outer Critics, Drama Desk Awards, also Tony Award for Best Director) and Fosse (1999: Tony, Outer Critics, Drama Desk Awards).
