Description

“To Hell and Back” is the true story of Audie Murphy: A true American Hero if there ever was one.


Broadway and film veteran Duffy Hudson – who has just been named Best One Man Show in Los Angeles – has created a memorable bio-play of America’s most decorated hero of the Second World War. This one-man performance will showcase the WWII Adventures of Audie Murphy, his life and his crusade to help Veterans with PTSD.


“I feel honored to perform this show and am always touched, moved and inspired to see our veterans in the audience,” said Hudson. “I have had the pleasure to perform this show in Audie’s hometown during the annual ‘Audie Murphy days’ in Greenville and Farmersville Texas.
I have had the honor of performing for and meeting childhood friends of Audie, the family who took Audie in when he was orphaned and Captain John Heard of the 3rd Infantry Division, who fought side by side with Audie Murphy.”
