“I was surprised …even stunned…by Petty’s forceful, clear-eyed and moving depiction of Williams. The result is the exhilarating feeling of Williams on stage in a particular place on a particular night…a rare achievement.” -- Rolling Stone Magazine
Petty galvanizes the show. His voice wails and rails a mixture of country and blues that electrifies the house! Hank Williams is alive and well and singing sensationally!” -- Associated Press
LOST HIGHWAY: Williams is performed with an icy cool by the marvelous actor/singer/ musician Jason Petty. At times it seems as if Petty is not just offering an impersonation of Williams, but channeling his ghost." -- New York Post
“The kid’s a hit! If you weren’t a Hank Williams fan when you walked in…you were when you walked out.” -- St. Louis Dispatch
Outstanding Actor -- Obie Award (Off-Broadway's Highest Honor)
