Hank Williams: Lost Highway opened August 30,
2013 to unanimous raves from critics and sold-out houses at the Greenhouse
Theater Center. This summer the
musical biography of one America’s legendary singer-songwriters returns for a
limited run. The tribute chronicles
Williams’ rise from humble beginnings in Louisiana to his triumphs on the Grand
Ole Opry stage and becoming one of the great innovators of American music to
his self-destruction at the age of twenty-nine. Hank Williams: Lost Highway includes more than 20 Williams’
classics, including “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” “Move It on Over,” “Hey,
Good Lookin’” and “Jambalaya.”
In addition
to Brumlow as “Williams,” the production features American Blues Ensemble
members Jim Leaming, “Fred ‘Pap’”; Michael Mahler, “Jimmy” on electric
guitar; Suzanne Petri, “Mama” and Austin Cook, “Hoss” on upright bass; Artistic
Affiliate Dana Black, “Waitress” with
guest artists Byron Willis, “Tee
Tot;” Greg Hirte, “Leon” on fiddle; Cora Vander Broek, “Audrey” and John Foley, “Shag” on console steel”.
