Ali is a 17-year-old girl full of fire – searching for freedom, passion and her place in the world. How she finds them is a New York City coming-of-age story you've never felt before – Hell's Kitchen, a new musical from 16-time Grammy® Award winner Alicia Keys, whose songs and experiences growing up in NY inspire a story made for Broadway. The “powerhouse cast” (Variety) is led by Shoshana Bean, Brandon Victor Dixon, Kecia Lewis, Chris Lee, and Maleah Joi Moon.
Hell's Kitchen is directed by four-time Tony Award® nominee Michael Greif, with choreography by Tony Award nominee Camille A. Brown, a book by Pulitzer Prize finalist and Tony Award nominee Kristoffer Diaz – and the music of Keys, featuring new songs and her greatest hits.
"While I would’ve loved Alicia Keys herself, the singing gave me goosebumps and not just from the lead playing Alicia but the whole cast. My wife who is not crazy about musicals also thoroughly enjoyed the show. Admittedly, I’m not crazy about performances that sound too “broadway” but didn’t get that feel here. Songs were right in line with what you’d expect from Alicia Keys. Interesting coming of age storyline but the clear draw is the voices and songs so if you like Alicia Keys and/or that type of music then you will love this show. "

"Everything about this musical will lift your heart. Of course the music of Alicia Keys alone should be a reason to see this show. The night we went Alicia Keys was there and came on stage to donate $1 million $ to Keep a Child Alive Foundation. $1 from every ticket goes toward this foundation. Every performer singing knocked our socks off, in fact, we're still looking for our socks ;0)"

"I’m a huge fan of Alicia Keys’ music. To hear them masterfully sung by someone other than her adds a different level of appreciation for her craft and the dynamism of her work in the music industry. "

"The acting, singing, music and dancing was brilliant--not one weak spot anywhere! The show lifted my heart with its beautiful, wrenching story of a mother and daughter--and her magnificent piano teacher. It's a celebration of all kinds of love as the daughter moves and sings and matures through the pain and joy of her amazing life, her first romance, her relationship with her gifted, but neglectful father, and her discovery of how making music channels all the emotions and struggles. I want to go back and see it again!"

"I have seen many shows in my lifetime but I have to say this was definitely in my top TWO. It touched every emotion. The voices were gorgeous and the choreography excellent. There was nothing I did not love about this performance. My three friends felt the same way. We all walked out of the theater with smiles on our faces and raved the entire way home. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be completely entertained for a few hours. Well done!!!!!"

"Last night I returned to New York for a second Hells Kitchen performance; bringing sisters, my step daughter and a dear friend.
The show is outstanding; energetic and brings laughter and tears. Alicia Keys made an appearance to celebrate 300,000 tickets sold and to share her charity for children.
I enjoyed the show as much as my first attendance and would definitely see it again! Bravo! "
