Even after his passing, Johnny Cash is still one of the most popular entertainers of all-time. Ring of Fire celebrates the man in black at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre playing February 8 – March 17, 2018. This remarkable hit tells his story of passion, redemption, humor and salvation through hits like I Walk the Line, I’ve Been Everywhere, A Boy Named Sue, Jackson, Daddy Sang Bass, The Ragged Old Flag, the title track Ring of Fire, and over twenty more! The stage is set on fire with this musical celebration of the world’s most favorite rebel. From the opening chords of vintage country to rockabilly, rock n’ roll, searing ballads and gentle songs of love and faith, the music of the man in black ignites the stage.
A cast of musicians celebrate the life and music of the legendary Johnny Cash. This production features Dutch Apple veteran performers Justin Droegemueller and Allison Fund, who are no strangers to Ring of Fire, having been in the show several times before, as well as Ben Hill, Jonah M. Martin, and Matt McClure, who were all seen recently in Buddy, The Buddy Holly Story. A few Dutch Apple veterans joining the cast that you would typically see in the pit orchestra include JP Meyer, the Dutch Apple Music Director on piano and Brandon Miller on drums, who is celebrating his 70th production with Dutch Apple! The cast also includes newcomers Melody Berger, Andrea DeVriendt, Tim Drake, Candice Lively, Steven Sitzman, Chet Wollan and Emily Woods.
Curt Wollan is directing Ring of Fire. Audiences will remember Wollan as the director of Church Basement Ladies at Dutch Apple, and he even produced all six productions of Church Basement Ladies with his company, Troupe America, Inc. The company also produced Ring of Fire, as well as memorable hits like A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change. Wollan has also had the honor of directing Dolly Parton in her family memoir musical, My People, and A Christmas Carol where Dolly appeared in a hologram as the Ghost of Christmas Past. Curt is directing two familiar cast members, his son, Chet Wollan and daughter-in-law Candice Lively, who is also choreographing the production.
