Experience the amazing music and life of Hank Williams!
July 2, 2009: The Renaissance Center’s Gaslight Dinner Theatre is excited to present Jason Petty’s critically acclaimed production, Hank and My Honky Tonk Heroes.
Hank and my Honky Tonk Heroes showcases Petty's uncanny ability to capture the sounds of Hank Williams. The show takes audiences back in time to the very beginnings of country music paying homage not only to Williams, but also to country legends, like Jimmie Rodgers, Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubb, Webb Pierce, George Jones, and many more. Backed by a four-piece band, the production features Williams' classic hits such as I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, Your Cheatin' Heart, Hey Good Lookin', Cold Cold Heart, Lovesick Blues, You Win Again and many more. Hank and my Honky Tonk Heroes will make you smile, cry, clap your hands and stomp your feet with excitement.
