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.
TRW’s Small Cast Editions are specially adapted versions of beloved musicals, designed for productions with fewer performers without sacrificing the show’s impact. Perfect for schools, community theaters, and smaller ensembles, these editions maintain the heart of the original while streamlining the cast size for a more flexible and accessible performance experience.
TRENNA — Female vocalist, doubling on acoustic guitar if possible
JASON — Male vocalist playing acoustic guitar
DAVE — Male vocalist playing electric guitar, banjo and fiddle
EDDIE — Male vocalist playing acoustic and electric guitar
MARK — Male vocalist playing bass (preferably double bass but electric bass can be used) and various percussion
The small cast version of RING OF FIRE, intended for five cast members who also play the instruments, provides a more intimate performance experience than the larger cast Broadway show. If any or all of your five cast members do not play instruments, you are welcome to perform the show using a separate pit band – or some musicians to cover those actors who don’t play an instrument – preferably setup on stage.
