A world premiere of the brand new musical, Heart of Rock and Roll is kicking off The Old Globe's 2018/2019 season! Inspired by the music of 80's legend Huey Lewis and his band Huey Lewis and the News, Heart of Rock and Roll takes us back through some of the bands biggest hits and gives them a heart-pumping new setting.
