The Heart of Rock and Roll is a jukebox musical with a book by Jonathan A. Abrams and music and lyrics by Huey Lewis and his pop rock band Huey Lewis and the News, with new orchestrations of their music by Brian Usifer.
The show features an original story revolving around a couple balancing their romance amidst their rock and roll world and corporate world dreams. It is not a biographical piece about the band.The musical officially opened on Broadway at the James Earl Jones Theatre on April 22, 2024.
Going back to at least 2010, producer and writer Tyler Mitchell, whose father-in-law is a good friend of Huey Lewis, first proposed the idea of a musical featuring the band's songs to Lewis.
Lewis said he had thought of the idea before, but did not know how the band's songs could be linked together into a story, "because they have nothing to do with each other." Mitchell then connected with Jonathan A. Abrams to write a draft original story, and they continued to hone the story over time.
The reviews of the Broadway production have been positive - finding the show entertaining and funny, even if the plot, like many a jukebox musical, is not deep.
