| "HEART OF ROCK AND ROLL" A NEW MUSICAL INSPIRED BY THE ICONIC SONGS OF HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS IS IN THE WORKS New York, NY - It was revealed today that a new musical inspired by the iconic songs of Huey Lewis and The News is coming to the stage. The book by Jonathan Abrams, based on an original story by Tyler Mitchell and Mr. Abrams, features chart-topping hits such as “The Power of Love,” “Stuck with You,” “Hip to Be Square,” “If This Is It,” and many more. Heart of Rock and Roll is directed by Gordon Greenberg. Huey Lewis and The News achieved international fame in the early 1980’s with the release of their smash album Sports, and went on to redefine rock & roll superstardom for the MTV generation. Their astonishing string of chart-toppers produced 19 Billboard Top Ten singles through the ‘80s and ‘90s, three of which went to #1, including the global smash, “The Power of Love” which was nominated for both an Academy® and Grammy® Award. All five albums released by the band between 1982 and 1991 are certified Gold, Platinum, or Multi-Platinum. The Grammy Award winners remain one of the most successful rock bands of all time. www.heartofrockandrollmusical.com |

| I wonder how much of a demand there is for this show. Huey Lewis and the News had their heyday, but I don't get the sense there's much interest in them nowadays. Their Greatest Hits album, released 10 years ago, hasn't gone platinum. | |

| Huey Lewis and the News were the after-dinner entertainment at a trade show I attended for work at the Hershey Lodge in Pennsylvania in 1995. I cannot fathom a musical of their work being successful at this point. | |

| How about a musical of ''Back to the Future'' that shoehorns Huey Lewis' songs? After all, that's where ''The Power of Love'' comes from ... | |

| I'm just glad this isn't about Huey Lewis starring in a Broadway revival of ''The News,'' a 1985 flop musical that starred Jeff Conaway. Back then, I HAD to see it because it was set at a tabloid and I was working at The Daily News (no connection to the show). Anyone else catch it? You had to be quick. It ran for only 22 previews and 4 performances (yet still got Tony-nominated for Best Score!). |
