Step into the electrifying world of the “Man in Black” with Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash. This dynamic musical brings Cash’s legendary songs to life on stage through powerful concert-style performances and theatrical storytelling that follow the journey of his remarkable life. Featuring more than two dozen iconic hits—including “I Walk the Line,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “A Boy Named Sue,” and “Ring of Fire”—the show explores his humble beginnings, rise to fame, personal struggles, enduring faith, and unforgettable love story with June Carter. Blending rock & roll, country, and gospel with the energy of live theatre, Ring of Fire is a foot-stomping celebration of one of the most influential artists in American music history.

Studio Tenn official tickets are only sold through Ticketmaster.com or through our in-house box office.
