Johnny Cash ist eine amerikanische Ikone. Jeder kennt seine Lieder, sein Leben wurde verfilmt und seine Stimme, schwärmte Bob Dylan, 'schien aus dem Mittelpunkt der Erde zu kommen'. Der Südstaaten Farmersohn fand seine Liebe zur Gitarre und zur Musik während seines Aufenthalts als US-Soldat in Deutschland. Johnny Cash, der 1953 in Landsberg am Lech, bereits seinen ersten Song geschrieben hatte, war Ende der 60er Jahr noch erfolgreicher als die Beatles. Hunderte Schallplattenaufnahmen weltweit beweisen die Ausnahmestellung des Musikers, der 1980 48-jährig als jüngster lebender Künstler die höchste Auszeichnung der Country-Music erhielt: die Aufnahme in die Country Music Hall of Fame. Sein Leben ist wie ein Roman: voller Höhen und Tiefen.

When will they learn that simply putting the music of some notable singers on stage without a decent script to back it up does not a good musical make? It's didn't work for "Good Vibrations" it didn't work for "Lennon" and it doesn't work for "Million Dollar Quartet" currently playing at the Paramount Theatre. The only things saving this show are the fact that the incredible performers are playing their own instruments and that there's enough nostalgia on stage to choke a horse. But is that enough?

From the songs of Johnny Cash comes a unique musical revue about love and faith, struggle and success, home and family. A cast of multi-talented performers takes a journey into the world Cash created in his songs. Ring of Fire features over 30 Cash songs such as 'I Walk the Line,' 'I've Been Everywhere,' 'The Man in Black' and 'Ring of Fire.'
