Why Is It 9:10 PM and I'm Just Now Finding Out About This?
The rock musician Huey Lewis will make his first appearance on Broadway in "Chicago" at the Ambassador Theater beginning Nov. 1. The singer will play the slick-as-an-oil-spill lawyer Billy Flynn. Mr. Lewis, the front man of the band Huey Lewis and the News, is no stranger to acting. He had small roles in the films "Back to the Future," "Shortcuts," "Sphere" and "Duets," and the television shows "Just Shoot Me" and "One Tree Hill." November will mark the 10th year on Broadway for this staging of "Chicago." The revival of the musical won six Tony Awards in 1997.

In the fine tradition of accompanying you to follow your idol, I humbly offer my services to accompany you to a show. Beth might even come along as well.
i might just take you up on that!
Ultra lame broadcasting story: Rich Crampanis, the sports anchor from both my old radio station and the local ABC TV affiliate, took a job with the Myrtle Beach NBC affiliate and now often plays golf with Huey Lewis (actually as his partner or in his foursome) in charity events. Yoo bad Crampanis didn't like me otherwise I'd get you an autograph.
Huey Lewis isn't his real name, by the way, but Hugh Cregg III didn't smooth-rock enough, despite it being hip to be square.
do you honestly think that i don't know his real name? c'mon weasel!
Fair play; I should have remembered that sort of thing is right up your alley (as the actress said to the bishop).

Oh, and I hear that Joni Mitchell is going to be playing Roxie Hart in the same production, so it'll be a double fantasy for you.
At least in Chicago he'll sing one or two songs that i will know.
