About the project: SYNOPSIS: Ring of Fire is a spirited, toe-tapping musical that celebrates the life, legacy, and music of Johnny Cash by threading together his greatest hits to tell a sweeping American story. Rather than following a traditional plot with one main character, the show uses a cast of performers to trace the arc of Cash’s journey—from humble beginnings in the Arkansas cotton fields, through love, struggle, faith, rebellion, heartbreak, and redemption—while capturing the grit, humor, and soul that defined him. Through iconic songs like “I Walk the Line,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” and “Ring of Fire,” the musical becomes a vibrant portrait of resilience and the power of music to carry us through every season of life.
