Show Information

Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash opened on Broadway on March 12, 2006, at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. The show draws its music and lyrics from the Johnny Cash catalog and is based on the music and life of Johnny Cash. It was created by and based on an idea by William Meade and conceived by William Meade and Richard Maltby Jr.; the original Broadway production was directed by Richard Maltby Jr. Musical arrangements and orchestrations were created by Steven Bishop, David Abbinanti, and others associated with the production.

The production is a jukebox musical performed by actor-musicians, meaning the performers sing and play instruments live on stage. After its Broadway run, the show was reworked into a smaller actor-musician revue format, commonly staged with five performers. Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash is currently closed on Broadway, but it remains widely licensed and frequently produced by regional, stock, amateur, community, and professional theaters across the United States. The show runs approximately 2 hours and typically includes one intermission.

The original Broadway production had a short run of roughly two months, but the title found a strong second life in regional theater programming. Its actor-musician format, familiar songbook, and roots-driven sound have helped make it a popular licensed title for theaters nationwide.

Getting Ready for Show Night

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation makes the full experience run smoothly from arrival through the final bow.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service around the venue can be congested on busy performance nights. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before heading out so you're ready at the door without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard at most theaters. A portable battery pack is worth having, especially if you're combining the show with dinner or other activities.
• Arrive at least 30 minutes before curtain. Theater doors open well before the show begins; arriving early gives you time to find your seats and settle in before the house lights go down — and avoids the disruption of late seating, which many theaters restrict.
• Plan for the intermission. Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash typically includes one intermission, so expect restroom and concession lines to build quickly once the act break begins.
• Know the venue's phone and photography policy. Audiences are asked to refrain from photographing or recording during the performance and to silence phones before the show begins.
• For families. The show includes themes drawn from Johnny Cash's life and songs, including substance abuse, firearms, violence, incarceration, and mortality. It is generally best suited to older children, teens, and adults.
