Featuring the contrasting voices and powerful stage presence of Barry “Dr. Baz” Ferrier and vivacious songstress Ilona Harker, this great new show is a musical tribute to the legendary country superstar Johnny Cash, his epic life story and love affair with partner June Carter, threaded through with a tongue in cheek look at Cash’s wild side and his stormy off stage and on stage relationship with June.

The show captures Johnny looking back on his rise from humble beginnings on a dirt poor cotton farm... soaking up gospel and country music, the floods, hard work and a harsh, unloving father... to tough times on the Pontiac production line in Detroit, enlistment during the Korean war as a US airman, which took him to the honky tonk bars of Germany, where he began to hone his character- istic style and began writing his unique songs.. and on to his first marriage and rise as a music sensation and a recording artist for the legenedary Sun Records, alongside Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis.

The show strings together all Cash’s greatest hits and signature tunes, as his fascinating, larger-than-life story unfolds, and woven through this rich musical journey is a fascinating glimpse into the darker side of his life, his drug taking, outlaw image and the Prison Concerts, and his epic, redeeming love story with lifetime soulmate June Carter, in her own right a child star of the famous country music icons ‘the Carter Family’.

Reminiscing on the tough origins, their rise to stardom, and Cash’s drug addiction, they laugh and joke, they fight and they harmonise, as they bring so many great songs to life, accompanied by the rockabilly rhythm of the Tennessee Two (with lush backing vocals from Slim Pickens on Bass and Warren Earl on twangy Fender guitar). It’s a polished, entertaining, upbeat music theatre show to get you ee-haa- ing and your toes a-tapping!
