If you came of age in the late 1970s and 1980s, the music of Foreigner and Journey was the soundtrack of your life. With ballads and anthems, songs like Foreigner’s “I Don’t Want to Live Without You,” “Waiting for a Girl Like You,” and “I Want to Know What Love Is,” and Journey’s “Who’s Crying Now,” “Open Arms,” and “Don’t Stop Believing,’” are etched into our collective memories. They also made the groups two of the most successful bands of their era.

She’s the great-granddaughter of Teddy Roosevelt. He’s the great-grandson of Russian Cantor Yacov Sanzofsky. Lovingly known as M & M, husband and wife Melinda Jackson and Michael Kessler have been working together for more than 30 years as producers, directors, writers, composers, choreographers, and, oh yes, performers who have appeared on Broadway, in Las Vegas, at Radio City Music Hall, and in theaters around the world. Their show, Broadway with Heart, is a tribute to the best Broadway has had to offer, from Kiss Me Kate, to Chicago, to Fiddler on the Roof, to Phantom of the Opera. Along the way, they share stories of working with people like Bob Fosse, Joe Layton, and Jim Rado.
