A raucous rom-com wrapped in pure musical joy, The Heart of Rock and Roll centers on a couple of thirty-somethings who know exactly what they want from life—until they find each other. It’s going to take "The Power of Love"—and a little help from their friends—to show them the way. Jam-packed with Huey Lewis megahits like "Working for a Living," "Stuck with You" and “If This Is It,” this shamelessly fun show will have you dancing in your seat (and all the way home). Don’t miss Broadway's newest feel-great musical, where it’s "Hip to be Square."
