Step into the world of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash in this brand-new musical packed with iconic songs, irresistible chemistry and real heart.
From the Olivier and Tony Award-winning visionary director Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys, The Who’s Tommy, Ain’t Too Proud), The Ballad of Johnny and June is a high-energy, life-affirming celebration of love, rebellion and two people bound by music.
Told through the eyes of their son, John Carter Cash, this is the definitive story behind the legends. This powerhouse musical joins together country music’s most enduring icons on the road, as they battle their demons and occasionally each other. It’s a foot-stomping, heart-racing ride through fame and one of the greatest love stories every told, brought to life with “astoundingly good” performances from Christopher Ryan Grant (Million Dollar Quartet) and Christina Bianco (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, The Wizard of Oz) who lead a company of thirteen, plus full band!
With a phenomenal songbook that inspired generations of musicians including I Walk the Line, Ring of Fire, Hey Porter, Jackson, I’ve Been Everywhere, Sunday Morning Coming Down, Hurt, A Boy Named Sue and many more, don’t miss your chance to join music royalty at The Ballad of Johnny and June!
