Lucky Man

In Lucky Man, Thomas G. Waites rips the curtain wide open on his wild ride through fame and flameout. The show begins in 1976, just after being kicked out of Juilliard’s Drama Division, and rockets ahead two years later when, at just 23, Waites hits it big with starring with roles in On the Yard, The Warriors, …And Justice for All and The Thing—working with icons like Al Pacino, John Heard, Kurt Russell and many others, as alcohol destroys his career, marriage and family before finding redemption, serenity and hope—through AA, friendship, music, forgiveness and the fierce power of love. It will break your heart—then heal it with laughter and song.

More than just storytelling, Lucky Man is a musical memoir, with Waites backed by his band, Heartbreak Waites, featuring Tony Daniels, Cedric Allen Hills and Annie McGovern.
