Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash

July 29 - August 16, 2026

created by Richard Maltby, Jr.

A delightful musical tribute to The Man in Black

The remarkable life story of Johnny Cash – one of the most revered storytellers in American music – is told through his iconic songbook. From country to rock ’n’ roll to searing ballads of love and faith, this theatrical and musical experience showcases the journey of the beloved legend. An incredible group of actor-musicians celebrate the man and the music with such hits as “I Walk the Line,” “I’ve Been Everywhere,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” and, of course, “Ring of Fire.”

“Cheers abound with this thoroughly pleasing show” – Chicago Critic

“I was so delighted with the evening that I have been singing these songs in my head ever since.” – The Berkshire Edge

“ ‘Ring of Fire’ is lively musical entertainment… You will sing along, maybe even dance. Johnny Cash had his demons, for sure. But they are not resident here.” – Cape Cod Times

“Cash fans will have a great time at the warmly nostalgic ‘Ring of Fire.’ More like a concert than a traditional musical, the rousing evening keeps attendees clapping out the door.” -New City Stage

“Ring of Fire shows the many facets of Cash the man and musical artist. It makes for a wonderful, varied audience experience: you can truly laugh, cry, hope, and fear in the span of two hours and feel as though you have learned about what connects you personally to Cash’s music and story.” – Splash Magazines

More about the creator: Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash was created by Richard Maltby, Jr. who also created Ain’t Misbehavin’ and co-conceived Fosse. He was the lyricist of Miss Saigon, director/lyricist of Baby and Starting Here, Starting Now.
