Video: Tamika Lawrence Performs 'The Power of Love' From THE HEART OF ROCK AND ROLL on SHERRI

Tamika Lawrence joined Sheri Shepherd on Friday to perform The Power of Love from the new musical The Heart of Rock and Roll.

She was joined by Huey Lewis who, after the performance, highlighted his admiration for Lawrence and the cast, saying "She's amazing and our whole cast is amazing." He went on to reiterate the magic of seeing the show on stage in all its glory with full choregraphy. 

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.
