"Ring of Fire" celebrates the Man in Black, Johnny Cash. Born a poor Arkansas boy, he picked cotton on the family farm before embarking on a 50 year career in music that includes more than 1,000 songs, 17 Grammys, and more than 90 million in album sales. Johnny Cash is still one of the most popular entertainers of all-time.

"Ring of Fire" tells Johnny Cash's story of faith, family, passion, redemption, and salvation. A gifted cast of singers and musicians presents 30 Johnny Cash hits including "Daddy Sang Bass," "Jackson," "Folsom Prison Blues," "A Boy Named Sue," "I Walk the Line," and, of course, "Ring of Fire."

"Ring of Fire" features Elisabeth Ballstadt, Randy Burk, Douglas Cochrane, Preshia Paulding, Sarah Stallman, Dane Van Brocklin, and Ben Wantland, backed by a five-piece band. "Ring of Fire" is directed by John Viars, with musical direction by Brenton Brown and choreography by Alison Shafer.
