About RING OF FIRE:
Straight from the heart of the songs of Johnny Cash, RING OF FIRE is a unique musical show about love and faith, struggle and success, rowdiness and redemption, home and family. RING OF FIRE features over 30 of the music legend’s songs such as “Country Boy,” "A Thing Called Love,” “Five Feet High and Rising,” “Daddy Sang Bass,” “A Boy Named Sue,” “I Walk the Line,” “I’ve Been Everywhere,” “The Man in Black” and the title song “Ring of Fire.”
RING OF FIRE is an almost mythic American tale -- of growing up in simple, dirt-poor surroundings in the heartland of America, leaving home, traveling on the wings of music, finding love, misadventure, success, faith, redemption, and eventually returning home. It's about the journey of a man in search of his own soul.
In many ways Johnny Cash wrote and sang about the lives we all lead, regardless of where we lead them. If, after watching this show, you feel yourself being drawn back to your roots, it isn't accidental -- even if you've forgotten what those roots are. We here at ACE hope as we bring these wonderful songs to life, we will touch your heart, mind and soul as well, and take you back to a part of your life you may want to return to. That’s what RING OF FIRE is all about.
