Huey Lewis on bringing his music to Broadway in "The Heart of Rock and Roll"
CBSN
The music of singer-songwriter Huey Lewis has transitioned from paper to the Broadway stage in the new musical, "The Heart of Rock and Roll." Set in the 1980s, it features some of Lewis's greatest hits, including "Do You Believe in Love," "Hip to Be Square," and "If This Is It."
Lewis shared that it was his next-door neighbor, a musical theater buff, who suggested to his son-in-law, Tyler Mitchell, a film producer, that they create a musical based on Lewis's music. Nine years and 27 drafts later, "The Heart of Rock and Roll" was formed.
Lewis, who led the band Huey Lewis and the News, expressed his amazement at seeing his songs come to life on stage. He credited the creative team, including Jonathan A. Abrams, Tyler Mitchell and Hunter Arnold, along with the cast, for their efforts.
