From Folsom Prison To The Great White Way

Johnny Cash, who died in 2003, will become the latest musical legend to have his material tried out on theatre’s biggest stage when a show featuring his music moves to Broadway next year. “More than 35 of the country star’s songs will performed in Ring of Fire, although no actor will actually portray Johnny Cash. The show, directed by Tony winner Richard Maltby, has received favourable reviews during its short preview run in Buffalo, New York… Cash had given his approval for the musical before his death, having previously rejected several projects.”
