The Ballad of Johnny & June

Tue 09 Jun 2026 - Sat 13 Jun 2026

Step into the world of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash in this brand-new musical 
packed with iconic songs, irresistible chemistry and real heart.

From the Olivier and Tony Award-winning visionary director Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys, 
The Who’s Tommy, Ain’t Too Proud), The Ballad of Johnny and June is a high-energy, life 
affirming celebration of love, rebellion and two people bound by music.

Told through the eyes of their son, John Carter Cash, this is the definitive story behind 
the legends. This powerhouse musical joins country music’s most enduring icons on 
the road, as they battle their demons and occasionally each other. It’s a foot-stomping, 
heart-racing ride through fame and one of the greatest love stories ever told, brought to 
life with “astoundingly good” performances from Christopher Ryan Grant (Million 
Dollar Quartet) and Christina Bianco (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, 
The Wizard of Oz) who lead a company of thirteen, plus full band!

With a phenomenal songbook that inspired generations of musicians including I Walk 
the Line, Ring of Fire, Hey Porter, Jackson, I’ve Been Everywhere, Sunday Morning 
Coming Down, Hurt, A Boy Named Sue and many more don’t miss your chance to join 
music royalty at The Ballad of Johnny and June!

“It has meant a great deal to me to be involved in bringing this new musical to the stage and see my parents Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash's story told with such care, heart and honesty. Johnny and June's music was inseparable from their lives, and this musical captures that truth through powerful story telling by a brilliant company, set to their genre-defining music. I have loved working with the creative team, and my family and I are both delighted and proud that audiences across the UK and Ireland get to see this celebration of their legacy.”

- John Carter Cash (Son of Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash)
