HANK WILLIAMS: LOST HIGHWAY CAST
Hank Williams- a south Alabama hillbilly singer, thin and black-eyed with great sex appeal and charisma. The role requires a strong bari-tenor A3 to A5 (yodel flip, falsetto) who can embody that signature “Hank” sound. age 20-39

Mama Lily- Hank's mother; a "Marjorie Main" - strong and somewhat overbearing; does not need to sing well. age 45-59

Hoss- a big, boyish man who is like a brother to Hank; plays upright ("doghouse") bass. age 20-39

Jimmy- from Oklahoma, which is especially evident in his speech - envious of Hank, but hides it with his sarcasm; plays lead electric guitar. Tenor with high G. age 20-39

Leon- pleasant and taciturn; a member of the band and a skillful musician on many instruments. age 20-49

Pap- founder and CEO of a Nashville music publishing company; a Midwesterner from Chicago. Serves as a father figure to Hank – non-singing role. age 40-59
