Ring of Fire: School Edition

From Johnny Cash’s iconic songbook comes a unique musical journey through love and faith, struggle and success, rowdiness and redemption, and the healing power of home and family. Told through over two dozen of his greatest hits—including “I Walk The Line,” “A Boy Named Sue,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” and the title song “Ring of Fire”—performed by a multi-talented cast that paints a musical portrait of The Man in Black in a foot-stompin’, crowd-pleasin’ salute to the musical legend.

Though he is never impersonated, the show paints an authentic musical portrait of his remarkable life, showcasing the passion, grit, and heart that defined his journey. With every note, RING OF FIRE takes audiences on an exciting ride, climaxing in a concert experience that will both move and exhilarate. This memorable tribute to Johnny Cash’s legacy is a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of his music.

RING OF FIRE School Edition has been adapted from the original Broadway production. The School Edition has been carefully edited, with additional director’s notes throughout, to make the show more producible for high school groups. Song keys have been adjusted to sit more comfortably in the range of high school performers. In some cases, problematic language has been changed, while in others an alternate choice is offered at the discretion of the director.
