Huey Lewis and the News' Eighties hits feature in 'The Heart of Rock & Roll,' now on Broadway
"The news is really bad, man. So it's nice to escape for two and a half hours and see a show once a while.", the rom-com musical based around songs from his catalog. Also on the list for the first-night celebration are Michael J. Fox and the members of Lewis’ band, the News.
I worried about the integrity of the songs. Some of them, like “Stuck With You” and “Hip to Be Square,” we play for silly, and I’m fine with that. You’ve got to stretch the boundaries of what the song is and be open-minded that way. And partially because of my condition, I can’t go out on the road. So I’m more open to this stuff.A lot of them, actually. Little things. Some of the choreography a little bit, like when Bobby is a rock star and how he holds the microphone.
After Michael Jackson did Pepsi, Coca-Cola came to me. We had a meeting in Atlanta with them, and they said, “You have the biggest Q quotient of anybody in America right now. Do you know what a Q quotient is?” I said, “No.” They said, “It’s likability and accessibility.” They offered us a lot of money for two ads, but we didn’t do it. That was one of the one of the only mistakes . Nobody had ever done any corporate stuff, and here we were already selling out shows and making a living.
