Great News! The Heart of Rock and Roll is a new musical comedy inspired by the chart-topping anthems of Huey Lewis and the News. 
 
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.” 

No! While our show features and is inspired by the hit music of Huey Lewis and the News, the story is brand new and not about Huey himself.
