I'm so excited that you're back to join us! We're here in Hawaii - right in the middle of the Ring of Fire - and ready to learn! Ms. Twinkle! That mountain is on fire! That mountain is actually a volcano. What's a volcano? A volcano is an opening in the Earth's crust from which molten lava, rocks, ashes, dust, and gases are released onto Earth's surface through eruptions. Why do volcanoes erupt? Great question! Come on class. This one's due to erupt soon! Deep below the surface of the Earth where rocks will melt as heat will rise. The mantle flows and churns - Earth's layer of largest size! Riding on this lake of magma float the plates that make Earth's crust. These plates of land fit snug together, moving when they must. What happens when they move? The pressure is so strong that a plate of Earth's crust moving a few inches can cause a huge release of energy! So along the edge of each plate are areas prone to major geological events - like earthquakes and volcanoes! That's why it's a 'RING' of fire! It's the edges of a very large plate! It's the Ring of Fire! Circling the Pacific! Following the land! It's the Ring of Fire! The most active zone yet known to man! What about Hawaii? Hawaii is in the center of the plate lined by the Ring of Fire, so it's usually included as a part of the Ring of Fire. Regardless, Hawaii's volcanoes still work the same way! When the mantle's magma boils, the pressure builds so high, at last it squeezes up between the plates which makes volcanoes blast! Volcanoes are scary! They can be. But volcanoes make new land and relieve pressure from deep inside the Earth! If we plan for and respect the might of nature - we can observe and appreciate just how amazingly it works! It's the Ring of Fire! Circling the Pacific! Following the land! It's the Ring of Fire! The most active zone yet known to man! Look over there, class! After magma comes to the surface, we call it lava. Do you see the lava coming out of the vents? Is everyone wearing their goggles and safety equipment? Alright then! This volcano is about to erupt!

Productions

Ring of Fire was conceived by William Meade and created and directed by Richard Maltby, Jr.[1] The musical played a "discreet and well-reviewed test run at Buffalo's Studio Arena Theatre in fall 2005".[1][2]

The musical contains 38 of Johnny Cash's songs, such as "Country Boy," "A Thing Called Love," "Five Feet High and Rising," "Daddy Sang Bass," "Ring of Fire," "I Walk the Line," "I've Been Everywhere," "The Man in Black" and "Hurt."[3]

Lari White, 2002

The musical opened on Broadway at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on March 12, 2006. The show has six principal performers paired as three couples: young, middle-aged and older. The cast featured Beth Malone and Jarrod Emick; Lari White and Jeb Brown; and Jason Edwards and Cass Morgan.[1] Maltby said of the concept: "The couples progress through life. If you know Johnny Cash's story you can see the contours of his biography in the show. But it's not only his story. A lot of people have said to me that they saw their own life in the show, which I think is true, too."[1] Due to mixed reviews and critical reception, as well as low ticket sales, the musical closed on April 30, 2006 after 57 performances and 38 previews.[4]

The musical was produced at the Charlottetown Festival, Prince Edward Island, in June 2012.[5]

A "reconceived" version of the musical was presented at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in March 2013, created and directed by Maltby. This version had five cast members, including Eddie Clendening.[6]

Critical response

Ben Brantley, in his review for The New York Times, wrote: "Though Mr. Cash,...is not himself a character in this latest entry in the jukebox musical sweepstakes of Broadway, his spirit is invoked as a friendly ghost with dimples and a twinkling disposition. In other words, Ring of Fire, which opened last night at the Ethel Barrymore Theater, has little to do with the dark, troubled and excitingly dangerous presence that most people remember as Johnny Cash... In form, Ring of Fire hovers between the usual singalong and storybook styles. Using songs recorded by Mr. Cash between 1955 and 2002 (many of them written by other composers), the show follows a sort of ages-of-man path from green country-boy idealism into the sloughs of a hard-living musician's disillusionment and on up to the mountains of spiritual redemption... Certainly, I was aware of missing someone as I was watching Ring of Fire. Too bad that person happened to be Johnny Cash."[7]

Many[who?]felt the failure was due to the show being booked into a theatre that was too large for the intimacy of the show.[citation needed]
