Jason Petty has made a striking impression on New York's Theatre District, starring in ‘Hank Williams: Lost Highway,' which played to sold out audiences at the Little Shubert Theater. Audiences and critics alike were taken back by Petty's amazing acing ability in his portrayal of Hank Williams.
He 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 for “Outstanding Actor”.
This veteran actor and singer has performed in theatres across the United States, Canada and Europe. Petty began portraying the country music legend, Hank Williams, in 1996 at the world famous Ryman Auditorium in Nashville Tennessee. Since that time, Petty appeared in national tours of “Lost Highway” and “Hank and My Honky Tonk Heroes”, a musical revue which Petty authored and starred in.
His acting ability has afforded Petty roles in film, television and theatre.
