Unsuspecting sex scene | brilliant theatrical performance
"Amazing performance! There was a sex scene that we were unprepared for, but it was done as gracefully as possible. A heads up for people with kids. And lots of F words, so that was also unexpected. But yes, overall, such a nice show! Goosebump inducing moments, very hip hop / RnB appeal on the musical elements. Poignant story telling and pretty fast paced. For Indians who aren't accustomed to ebonics or urban NYC accent, it might be a tad bit difficult to understand all the dialogues. But the essence can easily be felt even by non English speakers because of the brilliant direction and acting. Insanely talented singers and dancers"

A musical that appeals to non-musical people
"I liked how modern it was. The vocal talent of the cast is spectacular. Feels like a 90s r&b concert."

Phenomenal show
"The show was phenomenal and truly exceeded my expectations. The cast selection is superb! It touched on so many relatable issues of a teenager navigating life and young love. However, in my opinion, the play isn’t appropriate for younger audiences due to the use of cuss words and mature themes."

Over and above!
"My husband and I absolutely loved Hells Kitchen. The cast was phenomenal and you can’t beat any song that’s written by Alicia Keyes. The music, the voices the choreography, everything was simply amazing. The way the orchestra was placed in the little cubicles was so clever. We laughed and we cried. We would see it over and over again. Thank you to everyone involved."

A win for our family with teens!
"Excellent, engaging, and deeply intriguing — our entire family, including our 14- and 16-year-olds, loved it. The show is edgy enough and full of incredible music to completely grab and hold their attention. The story explores big emotions, teenage angst, complicated (and sometimes hurtful) parent-child dynamics, and the realities of social, economic, and racial differences and injustices. It’s raw, heartfelt, and beautifully told. One note for sensitive viewers: there’s a brief scene with intense strobing red lights (representing police arrival) that can be jarring from a sensory standpoint, and there’s also a portrayal of a first teenage sexual encounter. As long as parents and teens are comfortable with that, this is the show to take your teens to in NYC. And of course — Alicia Keys is amazing."

Wasn’t sure then indeed, it did not disappoint!!
"The show started a tad slow, so I was concerned, I spent too much money on expensive tickets for a family of five with three young male adults. But then the show crescendoed and just kept going with an explosive ending. It was awesome musical fun, such talent!!!!"
