The story and songs from one of country music’s most legendary couples head to Wellington’s St James Theatre.

Johnny Cash and June Carter were one of the most legendary couples in the world of country music. Their love story began as a professional collaboration on stage and blossomed into a lifelong romance lasting until Cash died in 2003. After sell-out shows throughout Australia, ‘Leaving Jackson — The Johnny Cash and June Carter Show’ comes to Wellington.

The duo was famous for their on-stage chemistry and musical talent. This tribute show features all the hits you know and love. Across the two-hour show you’ll hear ‘Walk the Line’ and ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ to the legendary songs of the ‘Highway Men’. Their music continues to inspire new generations of artists and fans.
