the story was based on the life and career of country music artist Johnny Cash. Johnny grew up unloved by his father, especially after the death of his brother Jack, where an accident happened when Jack was sawing wood for a neighbor to earn some fast cash. he later married Vivian, where he worked as a salesman to support his family. he walked passed a recording studio and brought his band to perform for the owner. the began touring and meeting many artists, including June, whom Johnny soon fell in love with.
the 2 main characters stood out immensely. though i wasn't a huge fan of both Johnny and June's lives offstage, the chemistry they shared onstage, was absolutely perfect and beautiful. it was shocking to know that the actors sang the songs themselves without any help from lip sync. having been a huge fan of musicals, the performance itself was enough to impress me to a degree that i felt myself being sucked into the audience whenever they performed.
