The new comedy-musical The Heart of Rock and Roll' premiered on Broadway last night at the James Earl Jones Theatre. The production is set in 1987 and follows the lives of a handful of twenty-somethings as they contemplate whether to follow their dreams or play it safe in the corporate world. Soundtracked by Huey Lewis and The News' biggest hits such as Hip To Be Square', If This Is It' and The Power Of Love', the Heart of Rock and Roll takes us back through some of the band's biggest hits and gives them a heart-pumping new setting. Find out what the critics had to say below!

The New York Times: The Heart of Rock and Roll' is not going to be the subject of think pieces and graduate theses, but its easygoing good spirits are bolstered by solid craftsmanship, and it'd be silly to turn up our noses at that."
New York Post: "Even more surprising is that one of those shows, "The Heart of Rock and Roll," which opened Monday night at the James Earl Jones Theatre, has turned out to be an underdog highlight of the season."
New York Daily News: "Ideal fodder, then, for a modestly scaled and warm-hearted jukebox show that might prove to be one of the sleeper hits of the season. That's thanks to an inestimably witty book with plenty of hard laughs and a suite of winning lead performances under director Gordon Greenberg."
New York Theatre Guide: "I am neither an 80s kid nor a person with any outsized interest in Cott's rugged good looks, but I had a good, old-fashioned great time for 2.5 hours."
Theatermania: "Like the best junk food, you won't remember much about The Heart of Rock and Roll afterward, but at least you'll have felt you had a fun time."
