"The jukebox musical Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash features the major hits of Johnny Cash, and the current production from The Phoenix Theatre Company is an excellent showcase for a group of almost all Phoenix based singer/musicians. ...provides (an) intimate study into the man and his music and serves as an excellent vehicle to spotlight the amazing multi-faceted skills of these talented individuals....weaves together two dozen songs written by or associated with Cash and his family, with many of the lyrics effectively depicting the struggles he encountered as well as mirroring key moments in his life....a highly entertaining tribute to the man in black and the fascinating life and the hardships he faced." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
"...a sharply performed production, the result is a highly entertaining show that will appeal to country/western lovers as well as those not usually attuned to this musical genre...Scott Weinstein’s breezy staging plus some clever visual projections suggest Cash’s country music roots leading up to his Grand Ole Opry triumphs. And the five-person ensemble sing and play a multitude of twangy instruments that bring the Cash sound alive with pleasant authenticity.... The superb cast adds the marvelous gloss on the production to make it so richly rewarding...." -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
