A foot-stompin’, crowd-pleasin’ salute to a musical legend!
For the next month, SLO Rep presents the musical "Ring of Fire–The Music of Johnny Cash," a one-of-a-kind musical that centers around the songbook of Johnny Cash. It's about love and faith, struggle and success, rowdiness and redemption, and the healing power of home and family. More than two dozen classic hits – including “I Walk The Line,” “A Boy Named Sue,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” and the title tune – performed by a multi-talented cast, paint a musical portrait of The Man in Black that promises to be a foot-stompin’, crowd-pleasin’ salute to a unique musical legend! Though he is never impersonated, Johnny Cash’s remarkable life story is told through his music, climaxing in a concert that will both move and exhilarate.
"Using songs recorded by Mr. Cash between 1955 and 2002, the show follows a sort of ages-of-man path from green country-boy idealism into the sloughs of a hard-living musician's disillusionment and on up to the mountains of spiritual redemption." – NY Times
