A love story written in fire and song

Love is a burning thing, and no one burned brighter than Johnny Cash and June Carter.

He was a small-town musician and storyteller with a voice that stirred the soul. She was the comedienne from the first family of country music. The Ballad of Johnny and June takes audiences inside the soaring highs and shattering lows of a love story that defined an era.

Johnny Cash wasn’t just a country icon – by the late 1960s he had crossed genres and generations. His prison concerts at Folsom and San Quentin were broadcast around the world, ‘Ring of Fire' and ‘I Walk the Line' became global hits, and his collaboration with June reignited both their careers. A partnership built on music, faith and resilience, their story captured the hearts of millions and continues to inspire audiences today.

From the stage to the road – through triumphs, heartbreak and redemption – this brand-new musical, created with the support of their family and told through the eyes of their son, John Carter Cash, reveals the fire and devotion behind one of music’s greatest love stories.

Featuring ‘I Walk the Line', ‘Ring of Fire', ‘Hey Porter', ‘Jackson' and ‘I’ve Been Everywhere', and directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys, The Who’s Tommy, Summer: The Donna Summer Musical).

An unforgettable journey through love, loss and the music that continues to inspire the world.
