RING OF FIRE: THE MUSIC OF JOHNNY CASH
RING OF FIRE: THE MUSIC OF JOHNNY CASH uses the music of the man to bring to life the joys and sorrows of this music legend. Says Jason Edwards, the show’s director and star, “RING OF FIRE is the only theatrical show Mr. Cash ever gave his approval for and endorsed.
The show’s concept was never to have someone impersonate Mr. Cash, but to get underneath his image and present what he was trying to say in his lyrics. And to select performers who in some way might convey the essence of his southern style and roots.”
Cabrillo Music Theatre’s production of RING OF FIRE: THE MUSIC OF JOHNNY CASH boasts a cast of ten performers and musicians, all nationally recognized for their work. Joining Edwards onstage is Kelli Provart, longtime Southern California theatre mainstay and recent Ovation Award nominee Broadway veteran Troy Burgess and recording artist Trenna Barnes. They join a gathering of musicians with generations of experience in the theatre, concert, and recording worlds. Together they weave a musical portrait of Johnny Cash, culminating in a concert that will both move and exhilarate.
In addition to Jason Edwards, the staff of RING OF FIRE: THE MUSIC OF JOHNNY CASH includes Jeff Lisenby as Musical Director, with choreography by Jane Lanier. Cabrillo Music Theatre is also pleased to announce that Louis B. Robin, Cash’s longtime friend and estate manager, is playing a role in the project, providing invaluable insight and anecdotes about the Man in Black.
Continuing Cabrillo’s OUTREACH program launched this season, RING OF FIRE will feature a signed performance for the deaf and hard-of-hearing on Friday, February 10th.
RING OF FIRE: THE MUSIC OF JOHNNY CASH performs February 3rd through the 12th, 2012, at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza. Although the highs and lows of Cash’s life are explored through song, RING OF FIRE is suitable for all audiences, and promises to be a foot-stompin’, crowd-pleasin’ good time.
