Hell's Kitchen is on Fire!
"While Broadway has been good the past few years, Hell's Kitchen was outstanding! Great story of Alicia Keys as a 17 year old girl that led to her inspiration as one of the most amazing performers in our lifetime! Maleah Joi Moon certainly deserved the Tony for best actress in a musical. Her electric presence as Ali was mesmerizing on stage and captivated the audience with her singing and acting. Kecia Lewis was powerful in both acting and singing as Miss Lizzie Jane and also deserved her Tony for featured actress! Overall, ALL acting and singing performances we were outstanding as well as the dancing team ensemble! This was Broadway at its best! GO see it now!.."

A show of all-stars
"This high-energy, high-quality performance was made up of all-star performers — certainly the leads, but also the full cast and orchestra, who provided a delightful jam after the curtain closed. The singers’ voices, as well as their dance moves, were among the best collectively that I’ve ever seen on Broadway!"

AMAZING SHOW!
"The show was amazing. The performers voices were nothing less than spectacular. The theater however was a huge disappointment. The balcony seats are extremely tight. If you are tall you will have a difficult time sitting through the entire performance."

A TRUE STORY
"I loved the plot. I did not know this about Alicia Keys. The singing was fabulous! I guess the profanity came with this genre, however, so unnecessary to make a difference."

Great music and dancing but story is formulamatic
"I loved the Alicia Keyes music and the performances, especially Tony winner actress who plays her piano teacher Liza Jane was magnificent. I also enjoyed the hip hop dancing, but sometimes the dancers were added to scenes that didn't make sense. I don't recommend young children because of the swearing. "

Great singing and acting
"Pros, singing and acting and stage and theater were excellent. Con, the story line could be expanded. It was a struggle with her mother to allow her to become an artist. It could show more of her professional career. "

Current music & perfect storyline!
"Based loosely on the life of a great pop musician. Very easy to see where her talents came from after seeing the parental units. My 40 & 36 year old guest really identified with the music from their childhood."

Great mother-daughter story
"More than anything, this was a beautiful story about a mother and daughter trying to navigate her daughter's transition to adulthood, and how similar stories are passed down to each generation. In the end, we're all looking to be known, understood, and loved. And this important story is told in the backdrop of some of Alicia Keys's songs, and if you're familiar with her work, it adds an exciting layer of newfound familiarity as some of the songs are reframed in a new narrative. "

Hell's Kitchen: The Title Says It All.
"This was a very good production about Alicia Keys' life when she was 17 years old. Although it's a musical, with outstanding dancers and extremely talented vocalists, many of her life struggles, at that time, are not to be overlooked such as: teenage rebellion, needing guidance & structure, boy/girls relationships, wanting to be liked, her relationship with her mother, experiencing the struggles of a single/working mom, an absent father, etc. But underneath it all was an extremely talented young girl who would emerge as a outstanding and worldwide 21st century female artist and performer. It's a production, not to be missed and highly recommended for young and old."

Singing and dancing was excellent
"The voices of the cast was fantastic and the dancing was well choreographed. I was a bit disappointed by the frequency of the language. I know all about Hell's Kitchen and the rough neighborhood that is portrayed but I do not understand why every show I attend has to use the F-bomb in it's dialogue. People will laugh at funny scenes without have to curse to get their attention."

"I liked the show. It was excellent. All the singers were excellent. There voices were pleasantly pleasing. The only thing i did like was where I sat. Its an old Theatre and no elevator. But the play was excellent."

Great voices and choreography
"The play was good-the music and the actors were great. I didn’t particularly relate to the underlying story but the vocal and dancing skills of the entire cast more than made up for it. The finale song of “New York” was really powerful and totally successful."

Love This Show!!
"I loved the energy of this show - and the story line. However, I had difficulty hearing the lyrics of the "hip-hop" tunes - the orchestra was a bit loud for these numbers."

Great music, weak story
"The story was not that engaging and the main character just seemed silly not rebellious, but all the actors had wonderful, strong voices. Also, people were being seated after the show started. Other shows I've gone to do not allow this. It was distracting."
