Theatre--Performance

Terry Huval with the band in Lovesick Blues

Hugh Harris as Hank Williams in Lovesick Blues


The Liberty Theatre in Eunice presents Lovesick Blues: An Evening with Hank Williams on Saturday, January 3, 2009 at 6:00 p.m.

Hugh Harris of Denham Springs captures the look and the uncanny sound of Hank Williams in this memory play that features over 20 Hank Williams classics. The songs are woven through narratives by Hank's manager, Fred Rose, and reflective conversations Hank has with other important people in his life. Renowned local Cajun fiddler Terry Huval leads the band that stands in for Hank's signature band, The Drifting Cowboys. This musical play recounts Hank's life from his childhood beginnings to the fateful night in the back of the 1952 Cadillac where his life ended on the way to a New Year's Day performance in Canton, Ohio. The show is directed by Jody L. Powell.

Tickets are $12.00. Reserved seating is available by calling the Eunice Mayor's Office at 337-457-7389.
