Nearly three years after his passing, Johnny Cash remains one of the most popular entertainers of all time.  His success is incomparable – 11 Grammy Awards (including 1999 Lifetime Achievement Grammy), inductions into the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock Music Hall of Fame, and a Kennedy Center Honor.  He has placed 48 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 Pop charts and over 130 hits on the Billboard Country singles chart - more than anyone in history.  His autobiography Man in Black has sold around 1.5 million copies and the official Johnny Cash website, www.johnnycash.com, receives more than 9 million hits per day. 

With all new sets, all new costumes and an all new cast, “Ring of Fire” celebrates the Man in Black – Johnny Cash – who was and always will be one of the most popular and most respected artists of our time.
