Set in 1987 and jam-packed with Huey Lewis megahits like “Do You Believe in Love,” “Hip to Be Square,” and “If This Is It,” The Heart of Rock and Roll centers on a couple of twenty-somethings on the cusp of their futures—Bobby, a rock and roller who’s traded his guitar for the corporate ladder and his boss Cassandra who’s always put the family business first. When they both get a second shot at their dreams, it’ll take “The Power of Love” and a little help from their friends to figure out what kind of life they really want.

The Heart of Rock and Roll is a smart, funny, heartfelt throwback to the era of big feelings, classic rom-coms, and music that really “Stuck With You.”

Inspired by one of the most successful pop/rock groups from the 1980s, the musical pays tribute to the iconic band, Huey Lewis and The News. With its distinctive fusion of rock and soul, the band dominated the charts in the ‘80s and captured hearts with their superhits. Known for their lively, energetic sound, and lyrics that reflect the highs and lows of everyday life, Huey Lewis and The News created hits that are easily recognized and loved to this day. That same energy and genius translate onto the stage as The Heart of Rock and Roll brings both laughter and sentiment through its romantic-comedy storyline, punctuated aptly with the powerful songs that have proven timeless. The musical, just like the band, promises to be an embodiment of the joy, the dreams, and the spirit of rock and roll.
