SYNOPSIS

Using a mix of '50s rock, doo-wop and

a host of steamy ballads, this is the tempestuous tale of a sultry saloonkeeper and a jealous tycoon.  Their feuding over control of a small western town takes a turn when a handsome stranger with a secret past rides into town.

Johnny Guitar

REVIEWS

"With supreme confidence this 'Johnny' tickles the fancy of those unfamiliar with its source while still rewarding those in the know."

- The Orange County Register

"What's winning about this 'Guitar' is its posse of talented lungs ... The appealing Duffy, reminiscent of Amy Grant, lassos the show together with her effortless command of stage and song."

- The Los Angeles Times
