What is The Ballad of Johnny and June about?

Who created and directs the musical, and has it won any awards?
The Ballad of Johnny and June has a book by Robert Cary and Des McAnuff, with music and lyrics by Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, and others, and is directed by two-time Tony Award winner Des McAnuff, known for Jersey Boys and The Who’s Tommy; its North American premiere and early runs earned strong reviews and regional awards and nominations for performances, direction, and orchestrations.
How long does the show last and is there an interval?
The Glasgow listing notes that the run time is still to be confirmed and currently indicates no interval, but information from other venues suggests you can expect around two to two and a half hours in total, so it is sensible to arrive prepared and check your specific performance details when booking.
Is the show suitable for children and families?
The production is recommended for ages 12 and over because it includes themes of drug and alcohol abuse, a rifle seen on stage (but not fired), and some strong language, so it is best suited to teenagers and adults rather than very young children.
Do I need to know Johnny Cash’s music to enjoy the show?
You do not need to be a long-time Johnny Cash fan to enjoy the musical because it is designed as a clear, emotional story about love, fame, and second chances, with the classic songs used to support the drama so dedicated fans can relive favourite tracks while newcomers discover the music through the storytelling.
How can I get cheap tickets for the Glasgow dates?
To find cheaper tickets, look at midweek performances rather than Saturday nights, compare prices in the upper levels or side sections of the Pavilion Theatre, book as early as possible before the best-value central seats sell out, and sign up to ticket-seller and theatre mailing lists so you hear about presales, under-26 offers, promo codes, and limited-time deals.
Are there discounts or special offers available?
Discounts can include lower-priced off-peak performances, advance booking deals, group rates, and concessions for certain age groups, so it is worth checking whether there are student, under-26, senior, or family tickets available for your chosen show and asking the box office which dates currently offer the best value.
What is the best way to travel to the Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow?
The Pavilion Theatre is on Renfield Street in Glasgow city centre, close to Glasgow Queen Street and Glasgow Central stations and many bus routes, while drivers can use nearby city car parks, so allow extra time for traffic, follow local parking signs, and check parking charges and closing times so you can leave after the performance without rushing.
