Ring Of Fire , The Music of Johnny Cash at New Vic Theatre

The Broadway hit musical comes to Santa Barbara! From the songbook of Johnny Cash comes this unique musical about love and faith, struggle and success, rowdiness and redemption, and the healing power of home and family. With over 30 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 musical legend!
“RING OF FIRE is an extraordinary musical tribute to an American icon, Johnny Cash, which fits perfectly in this season’s theme of ‘truths,’” said Scott DeVine, ETC’s executive director. “Some may be surprised to learn that Johnny lived in Casitas Springs in the early 1960s, when his iconic certified Gold album, ‘I Walk the Line,’ was released. Sixty years later, our rendition of the hit Broadway show – with an original RING OF FIRE cast member, Randy Redd, directing and bringing this production to life on the New Vic stage – is sure to be an incredible treat. Randy’s first-hand experience with the early development of the show, coupled with our brilliantly talented cast and team, makes this a musical theatre experience not to be missed!
