Fantastic Experience! What a talent to see and enjoy watching!
"I love Alicia Key's music and I am fascinated with NYC in general so it was a great choice of a show for me to see! I thought the artists were incredibly talented, I loved the singing dancing and also the choreography was amazing! I have recently heard the show will end soon, so I am even more thrilled I had a chance to see it while on a trip to NYC! :-)"

Amazing cast, choreography, and story.
"The Hell’s Kitchen’s cast performance was flawless from singing and timing to the way they spoke to the audience. The choreography was beautifully timed and each time the ensemble joined they really helped tell the story in their movement and timing. The story itself was well written, tugged at heart strings, and played out relationships from start to finish. It was lovely and the songs were explanatory."

Entertaining
"I totally enjoyed the performance! All cast members were great. Ally was so close to what Alicia Keys looked like at that age. The intimate scene was performed tastefully and appropriate for teenagers. My 88-year old mom and 77- year old husband both enjoyed the performance. Job well done. I was fortunate to catch the performance with Yolanda Adams and Neyo! The mother's voice was phenomenal!!! So proud of Alicia Keys."

So Real
"The show the simply fantastic. The story felt real and authentic. I left feeling like I understood a tiny piece of Hell’s Kitchen. And I say a tiny piece because the show did such of a great job of conveying the richness in the people and culture of the community. Great story. Phenomenal singing and acting. And come on, could the music get any better?!? Just go. It’s a must see."

Real entertainment
"Amazing showing. Little grown for young girls as you dont want to send the wrong message. Akward that she was 17 trying to be with a grown man, not a decent message for young girls."

Don't miss Hells Kitchen !!!
"Hells Kitchen is one of the best plays that I have had the privilege of experiencing, not once but three times. Every time I have seen the play it was like the first time. The story is intriguing and laden with great messages. The cast are amazing and many of the talents are unmatched. I would easily go see it another three times and more."

Best experience of my life
"This was my very first time attending a Broadway show, and I was completely mesmerized. I started crying almost immediately (and probably cried about six times throughout), partly because I was finally experiencing Broadway—but also because the storytelling was absolutely beautiful. The songs were top-notch, and I truly loved this production from start to finish. Alicia Keys did far more than an amazing job with this show. Huge props to Amanda Reid as Ali and Kelsee Kimmel as Ali’s mom, Jersey—both delivered astonishing performances. Their voices, their power, and the way they belt straight to your soul gave me chills! It was also a delight to see Yolanda Adams as Miss Liza Jane; she has an incredible way of pulling you deep into your emotions. Jackie Leon, who played Jessica, truly caught my eye—she is a star! And I can’t forget Oscar Whitney Jr. as Knuck and Ne-Yo as Davis, who both absolutely deserve praise as well. I haven’t stopped thinking about this play since I saw it, and I know it will stay with me for a very long time. I will definitely be streaming the songs. I’m so grateful this was my first Broadway experience—it will forever hold a special place in my heart. I hope I get to see it again one day."
