Equity Actors for Production of "Hank Williams: Lost Highway"

Overview

Equity actors for roles in "Hank Williams: Lost Highway".
About the project: The spectacular musical biography of the legendary singer‑songwriter frequently mentioned alongside Louis Armstrong, Robert Johnson, Duke Ellington, Elvis and Bob Dylan as one of the great innovators of American popular music. The play follows Williams’ rise from his beginnings on the Louisiana Hayride to his triumphs on the Grand Ole Opry to his eventual self‑destruction at twenty‑nine. Along the way, we are treated to indelible songs like “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” “Move It on Over” and “Hey, Good Lookin’,” which are given fresh and profound resonance set in the context of Williams’ life.
