McKenzie Kurtz, one of the stars of the new musical The Heart of Rock and Roll, joined music legend Huey Lewis for an appearance on Good Morning America.
Huey spoke about his new musical, as well as his Broadway roots, making his Broadway debut as Billy Flynn in Chicago in 2006.
He said, "I thought, 'I can't do this. This is way too difficult.' But my son was going to NYU, so I asked him for a couple of tickets just to see the show. I was amazed by the show, and I thought to myself, 'You know, if you don't do this, you're never going to forgive yourself.' So I played Billy Flynn and fell in love with all that is Broadway."

About THE HEART OF ROCK AND ROLL
The Heart of Rock and Roll is the new musical inspired by the iconic songs of Huey Lewis and The News. The musical opened on Monday, April 22 and is currently in playing at the James Earl Jones Theatre.
The principal cast includes Corey Cott, McKenzie Kurtz, Josh Breckenridge, F. Michael Haynie, Zoe Jensen, Tamika Lawrence, Raymond J. Lee, John-Michael Lyles, Orville Mendoza, Billy Harrigan Tighe and John Dossett.
Set in 1987 and jam-packed with Huey Lewis megahits like “Do You Believe in Love”, “Hip to Be Square” , and “If This Is It,” The Heart of Rock and Roll centers on a couple of twenty-somethings on the cusp of their futures—Bobby, a rock and roller who’s traded his guitar for the corporate ladder and his boss Cassandra who’s always put the family business first. When they both get a second shot at their dreams, it’ll take “The Power of Love” and a little help from their friends — to figure out what kind of life they really want.
