Inspired by the lives of Jerry Lee Lewis and Reverend Jimmy Swaggart, Fire traces the rise and fall of Cale and Herchel Blackwell, the sons of a Southern preacher. Featuring classic 50's rock hits and timeless gospel tunes, Fire has rocked the socks off and elevated the souls of audiences across Canada since its premiere in 1985.
