Chuck Berry is Rock ‘n’ Roll. His explosive new sound that filled every jukebox big and small, and traveled along the Interstate Highway as it was being built, helped to define the emerging culture that became modern-day America. This is the story of that brilliant and frenetic migration, and the innovative and chaotic man from which the culture came. The musical covers a five-year period from 1956-1961, showing the true Chuck Berry as never before seen— a figure that is at once a loving father and husband and a bustling musician, a man that struggled at the irreconcilable nexus of freedom and confinement, a man that fought to do things his way, even if that way brought joy and pain to those around him.
