There's a Broadway musical called "Ring of Fire". As written, it's a little confusing. It's supposed to be a "jukebox musical" (meaning the songs are the majority of the content with not much acting linking them up) about Johnny Cash's life. The actors kind of take turns being Johnny Cash. It can be kind of hard to follow from that standpoint.
My local community theater is doing the "small cast" version that four guys and one girl (singing June's parts). We make it clear that nobody is representing Johnny Cash. The dialog is there to sort of connect one song to the next as quickly as possible, but primarily it's an excuse to unload over 30 Johnny Cash tunes in 2 hours (with a few more of our favorites thrown in beforehand).
I heard these tunes in the cradle and have sung them ever since. This is the only time I can really imagine myself singing on stage (sober).

That's a nice cover by 3DN, 320.

But wouldn't you rather have the original, by your late, great, fellow-Texan B. W. Stevenson?
