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 new songs and greatest hits about growing up in New York inspire a story made for Broadway.
Rebellious and stifled by an overprotective single mother, Ali is lost until she meets her mentor: a neighbor who opens her heart and mind to the power of the piano. Set to the rhythm of the 90s, “Hell’s Kitchen” is a love story between a mother and daughter. It’s about finding yourself, your purpose, and the community that lifts you. Come remember where dreams begin.
Hailed as a New York Times Critic’s Pick that is, “thrilling from beginning to end – a rare must-see!” Directed by four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif, with choreography by four-time Tony Award nominee Camille A. Brown, a book by Pulitzer Prize finalist Kristoffer Diaz, and the music of Alicia Keys.
