Frequently Asked Questions
When is The Ballad of Johnny and June in Hull?
The Ballad of Johnny and June is at Hull New Theatre from Tuesday 14 July to Saturday 18 July 2026, with performances across weekday evenings and a Saturday show during the run.
Where is the show performed in Hull?
All Hull performances take place at Hull New Theatre on Kingston Square, a city-centre venue with tiered seating and a range of ticket prices across different areas of the auditorium.
What is The Ballad of Johnny and June about?
The musical takes you inside the soaring highs and shattering lows of the love story between Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, following them from the stage to the road through triumphs, heartbreak, addiction, and redemption, told through the eyes of their son John Carter Cash to show why they remain one of the most influential couples of the twentieth century.
What songs and musical style can I expect?
The show is packed with legendary hits including I Walk the Line, Ring of Fire, Hey Porter, Jackson, and I’ve Been Everywhere, blending country, rockabilly, gospel, and heartfelt ballads to match the intensity and tenderness of their story.
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, whose credits include Jersey Boys, The Who’s Tommy, and Summer: The Donna Summer Musical; earlier North American productions have earned strong reviews and regional awards and nominations for performances, direction, and orchestrations.
Is the show family friendly and what is the age guidance?
The Hull run carries parental guidance and notes that the production includes themes of drug and alcohol abuse, a rifle seen on stage (but not fired), and some strong language, so it is generally recommended for older children and adults rather than very young audiences.
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 written as a clear, emotional story about love, resilience, and second chances, with the famous songs used to support the drama so fans can relive classic hits while newcomers discover the music through the characters’ journeys.
How long does the show last and is there an interval?
The Hull listings do not fix a final running time yet, but information from other venues on the tour indicates you can expect around two to two and a half hours including an interval, which is typical for a large-scale musical biography of this kind.
How can I get cheap tickets for the Hull dates?
To find cheaper tickets, look at midweek performances rather than Saturday night, compare prices for seats higher up or towards the sides of the auditorium, book as early as possible before the best-value central seats sell out, and sign up to Hull New Theatre and major ticket-seller mailing lists so you hear about presales and discount offers.
Are there discounts or special offers available?
Discounts can include lower-priced tickets from around the mid-teens, advance booking deals, group rates, and concessions for certain age groups, so it is worth checking for student, under-26, senior, or family prices and asking the box office which performances currently offer the best value.
Can I buy last-minute or same-day tickets?
Last-minute tickets are often available if a performance has not sold out, and you may sometimes find returns or single seats at attractive prices, but the best combination of price and choice usually comes from being flexible on dates, choosing midweek shows, and booking ahead rather than waiting for the day.
What is the best way to travel to Hull New Theatre?
Hull New Theatre is in Kingston Square close to Hull city-centre bus routes and within reach of the main railway station, while drivers can use nearby car parks, so it is sensible to allow extra time for traffic, follow local event-parking signs, and check parking charges and closing times so you do not have to rush after the performance.
