Hank Williams 100-year Celebration Starring Jason Petty

About

Jason Petty made a striking impression on New York’s Theatre District, starring in Hank Williams: Lost Highwaywhich played for nine months to sold-out audiences at the Little Shubert Theater. Audiences and critics alike were taken aback by Petty’s amazing acting ability in his portrayal of Hank Williams. Petty won rave reviews from all the major critics, including the New York Times, Variety, and Rolling Stone. The New York Post stated it best: “At times it seems as if Petty is not just offering an impersonation of Williams, but channeling his ghost.” Another sign of recognition for Petty’s brilliant performance of Hank Williams was being honored with an Obie Award (Off Broadway’s Tony Award equivalent) for “Outstanding Actor.” In Hank and My Honky Tonk Heroes, Petty gives audiences a personal look at Williams growing up, how he became famous, who influenced the legendary singer /songwriter, and performers today who Williams influences. Backed by a four-piece band, just like Williams performed, the show is chock full of Hank’s hits from ‘Your Cheatin’ Heart’ and ‘I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,’ to ‘Hey Good Lookin’ and ‘Lovesick Blues.’ Members of the Florida Theatre starting at the Ensemble Level, order tickets now by emailing boxoffice@floridatheatre.com or calling 904-355-2787 by 12pm on Wednesday, Nov. 2.Opening Act and E-Club members use the code word to purchase tickets at 10AM on Thursday, Nov. 3.
