One of the most famous love stories in music history is set to take centre stage in Dublin next year, as THE BALLAD OF JOHNNY AND JUNE makes its Irish premiere at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre.
Running from Tuesday 31 March until Saturday 11 April 2026, the new musical charts the extraordinary journey of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, two artists whose partnership shaped the sound and soul of American country music for generations.
Created with the full support of the Cash family and told through the eyes of their son John Carter Cash, the production explores the highs and lows of a relationship that shaped what country music is today. From life on the road to global fame, addiction, faith and redemption, the show offers a deeply personal portrait of the iconic pair behind the music.
THE BALLAD OF JOHNNY AND JUNE brings that story to life through a soundtrack packed with classic songs including I Walk the Line, Ring of Fire, Hey Porter, Jackson, and I’ve Been Everywhere. The musical is directed by two-time Tony Award winner Des McAnuff, whose previous credits include Jersey Boys, The Who’s Tommy and Summer: The Donna Summer Musical.
The show’s unique perspective comes from John Carter Cash, an award-winning producer, writer and musician who has spent decades preserving and expanding the musical legacy of his parents and grandparents. His involvement ensures the story remains grounded in authenticity, focusing not just on fame, but on the humanity behind the headlines.
Tickets for THE BALLAD OF JOHNNY AND JUNE are on sale now, with prices starting from €29.80, and the production is expected to be one of the standout musical events at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in 2026.
