“Kaleidoscope,” a new original song by Alicia Keys, written for the musical Hell’s Kitchen, is now available on all streaming platforms.

Along with Moon, the musical stars Tony nominee Shoshana Bean, Tony nominee Brandon Victor Dixon, Chris Lee and Kecia Lewis, all of whom reprise their performances from Hell's Kitchen's off-Broadway world premiere at the Public Theater this past fall. 

The music team of Hell’s Kitchen includes orchestrations by Tom Kitt and Adam Blackstone, arrangements by Keys and Blackstone, music consulting by Tom Kitt and music direction by Lily Ling. “Kaleidoscope” is produced by Breyan Isaac and Keys and co-produced by Blackstone.
