ME AND MR CASH - A theater evening with songs by Johnny Cash and June Carter
On a February evening in 1968, Johnny Cash and his entourage play another of their sold-out shows, this time in a provincial town in Canada. The lively June Carter, scion of the legendary Carter Family, is also back. After playing the last chords of their joint hit "Jackson", Johnny asks several thousand fans: "Will you marry me, June?" With spontaneity and incomparable wit, she avoids an answer and instead turns the situation into a comic one, as if it were a practiced number. But Johnny doesn't let up - not this time: after 31 marriage proposals, June finally answers him with "Yes!" That evening, actors Lucie Mackert and Roman Roth dive into the Carter Cash world together with musician Thomas Maos. They shed light on the two sides of love in show business and show the many facets of the two main characters. They also bring important companions and family members to life and tell the story of the two from many different angles. With the help of new arrangements of well-known country classics, the three performers show a contemporary view of this piece of music history and at the same time flash back to times long past.
