September 2026 brings the arrival to Leeds of The Johnny Cash Musical appropriately called ‘The Ballad of Johnny & June’. Here is the Promoter’s publicity:
“This thrilling new musical from the director of Jersey Boys celebrates the love, music, and mayhem of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. Featuring barnstorming performances and electrifying chemistry from Christopher Ryan Grant (Million Dollar Quartet) and Christina Bianco (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, The Wizard of Oz), this is Johnny and June like you’ve never seen them before.
