that I've ever seen! I was surprised, even stunned, by Hank Williams: Lost Highway. The result is not some abstract distillation of Williams' repertoire, BUT THE EXHILARATING FEELING OF WILLAMS ON STAGE in a particular place on a particular night! JASON PETTY [as Hank] doesn't just capture the phrasing and cadences of Williams' singing. He varies his delivery with the command of a performer who is fully inhabiting his character, not merely rendering him. Conveys the varied aspects of a complex man with subtlety, intelligence and compassion! THE MUSIC IS SUPERB: the band serves up classic country with the edges raw and the energy hot! By the end of the play, you've traveled on a profound emotional journey: Lost Highway TRANSPORTS ITS AUDIENCE, and communicates the inspiring message of the beauty and richness of Williams' songs! FORCEFUL, CLEAR-EYED, MOVING, IMPRESSIVE! SOME OF THE BEST MUSIC THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER PRODUCED!" — Anthony DeCurtis, Rolling Stone
