Love is a burning thing, and no one burned brighter than Johnny Cash and June Carter.
He was a small-town musician and storyteller with a voice that stirred the soul. She was the
comedienne of the first family of country music.
The Ballad of Johnny & June takes you inside the soaring highs and shattering lows of a love
story that defined an era. From the stage to the road, through triumphs, heartbreak, and
redemption this brand-new musical, created with the support of their family and told through
the eyes of their son, John Carter Cash, shows why Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash remain
one of the most influential couples of the 20th Century.
American musical theatre star Christopher Ryan Grant, who originated the role of Johnny Cash
in New York and Canada premiere, now brings his acclaimed portrayal to the UK stage for the
first time, joined by award-nominated actress Christina Bianco (Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolour Dreamcoat, The Wizard of Oz).
Packed with legendary hits from I Walk the Line, Ring of Fire, Hey Porter, Jackson, Iโ€™ve Been
Everywhere and directed by two-time Tony Award winner Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys, The Whoโ€™s
Tommy, and Summer: The Donna Summer Musical) donโ€™t miss your chance to join music
royalty for The Ballad of Johnny & June.
๐Ÿ“ Venue Description:

Wycombe Swan is a theatre located in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. It is one of the country's newer theatres, only opening its doors to the public in November 1992. The modern purpose-built theatre is huge and sits on St Mary Street, right in the heart of High Wycombe town centre.


<h2>Welcome to the Wycombe Swan!</h2>

The Buckingham County Architects was behind the original design and construction, and the venue became home to both home-grown productions and national tours. Every year, it presents some of the most popular and successful shows, including comedy, theatre, and music throughout its different spaces. Initially run by the Wycombe District Council, the venue is now under the operations of HQ Theatres. However, the Council still owns the theatre.


<h2>Inside the Theatre</h2>

The venue has a total capacity of accommodating 1,076 audience members on three levels and consists of backstage facilities. The complex comprises the Wycombe Swan Town Hall; the main theatre, the Old Town Hall; and the smaller Oak Room. All these spaces are available for hire. From intimate events to large occasions, it is a unique platform with theatrical flair. While the main theatre stages big shows, the Oak Room is generally for meetings, conferences, and similar smaller events. The complex is also home to the Wycombe Swan Youth Project (formerly Wycombe Swan Youth Theatre Company), who present regular productions here. It is open to the age group of 10-19-year-olds. It hosts several performance-based activities, workshops, as well as an annual show. Wycombe Swan offers many flexible spaces that can host receptions, training sessions, parties, networking events, and even weddings.


<h3>Modernisation and Renovation</h3>

In 2010, more than a million pounds was used to refurbish the building. Along with many other improvements, the project re-seated the auditorium and enhanced the technical facilities available backstage. The Old Town Hall and the Oak Room also underwent a renovation to provide better comfort and more space. Alongside hosting quality shows and events, the theatre also offers top-class catering and excellent service. Before the show, customers can order from the Swan Bar & Kitchen, which provides brilliant dishes, freshly prepared by skilled chefs.


Wycombe Swan is the perfect venue for both small and big events. From staging touring productions to working as a private venue for weddings and other occasions, its adaptable spaces are ideal.
