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.

"Great dance sequences. Awesome choreography. Shoshana Bean was Amazing as was the entire cast. The story is very cool and ends in a very happy way. The only thing that would have made it better was if Alicia Keys had showed up. "

"What an amazing show and experience. Very happy with the view from our seats (Mezzanine, Row E). Contemporary and relatable story. Great mix of humor and seriousness. Loved the integration of Alicia Keys' hits that we know and love. Great talent all around and really really impressed by the performances of the women who played the mother and the piano teacher -- so powerful and emotional that I felt the performances in my gut and my bones. The only down side for us is how frequent the "f" word is used. I guess some would argue that it makes the story authentic but I think the story would not be diminished at all if the word was eliminated altogether or at least used minimally."

"This was my very first Broadway musical which is in itself quite exciting. I chose this one because it is new, very NYC and by Alicia Keys.
I loved everything about it! Choreographies were very good, loved the style but more than that THE SINGING! OMG, all the performers were great and the rendition of the songs was just mind-blowing, I also loved how the big hits were arranged. The story is also very moving so I spent the second act crying.
Absolutely suggested, it is GREAT! "
