About the Show

A new musical about the New York Dream, with both new music and the classic songs of Alicia Keys.

Within a small midtown apartment, Ali, a 17-year-old yearning for the New York dream, faces her mother's protective nature. Love for a gifted drummer compels them to confront the realities of race, defiance, and maturation. Ali feels trapped until a neighbor's piano playing unlocks an unforeseen friendship and a transformative path ahead.

Grammy Award-winning artist Alicia Keys and Pulitzer Prize finalist playwright Kristoffer Diaz bring their exhilarating coming-of-age musical to New York in a production choreographed by Tony Award nominee Camille A. Brown and directed by Tony Award nominee Michael Greif. Hell's Kitchen is an unforgettable new show featuring both newly created music and the soulful, iconic songs of New York’s very own Alicia Keys.
