“Ring of Fire” burns, burns, burns this summer at Beef & Boards

Celebration of Johnny Cash’s life opens Aug. 27

Ring of Fire, a unique musical inspired by the iconic songbook of Johnny Cash, will heat up the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre stage starting Aug. 27.

An icon of American music history, Johnny Cash’s contributions as a singer songwriter are legendary. Ring of Fire brings his story of love and faith, struggle and success, rowdiness and redemption, and home and family to the stage. More than two dozen of his hits, from “I Walk the Line,” to “A Boy Named Sue,” to “Folsom Prison Blues,” and the famous title tune are performed by a multi-talented cast.

Though he is never impersonated, Johnny Cash’s remarkable story is told through his music, making Ring of Fire an exhilarating salute to the Man in Black.

Most of the cast will be making their Beef & Boards debuts in this production. They include Luke Darnell, Tyler Michael Breeding, Alex Crossland, Devin McDuffy, Mary Catherine Fehrenbacher, and Sarah Colt. Returning to the Beef & Boards stage are Matt Smolko (Waitress), Sarah Hund (Singin’ in the Rain, Heartbreak Hotel, Grumpy Old Men), and J Vance (Cinderella, Heartbreak Hotel).

Ring of Fire is directed by Jeff Stockberger and choreographed by Sally Mitchell.
