Hank Williams: Lost Highway
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.

Legacy, The
Synopsis:
This ongoing story of the estanitskys, a Jewish family in Texas, slightly resembles, in its second instalment, some aspects of Neil Simon's semi-autobiographical saga founded on his own early experiences--and with a precocious and talkative little lad serving as the author's presumed stand-in and mouthpiece as well. . ..
