Alicia Keys Takes Broadway

Broadway is about to resonate with the soulful melodies of Alicia Keys as her semi-autobiographical musical, "Hell's Kitchen," takes center stage at the Shubert Theatre this spring.

Alicia Keys, the multiple-Grammy-winner, shares her journey from a Broadway enthusiast to a Broadway debutante. Inspired by the magic of theater and the transformative power of music, Keys brings her chart-topping hits and a compelling narrative to the iconic Shubert Theatre.

Mark your calendars—performances kick off on March 28, with an eagerly anticipated opening night set for April 20. Ticket sales commence on December 11. While casting details are under wraps, off-Broadway's lead, Maleah Joi Moon, set the stage on fire.

Musical Highlights

"Hell's Kitchen" promises an unforgettable experience with Alicia Keys' greatest hits, including "Fallin’," "No One," "Girl on Fire," "If I Ain’t Got You," and the quintessential "Empire State of Mind." Adding to the magic, the musical unveils four new songs.

Plot and Creative Team

The coming-of-age tale, skillfully penned by Pulitzer Prize finalist Kristoffer Diaz, revolves around 17-year-old Ali—a gifted teenager navigating life in the once-rough Hell's Kitchen. Directed by Michael Greif, known for his work on "Dear Evan Hansen," and featuring choreography by Camille A. Brown, the musical promises a visually and emotionally captivating experience.

A Personal Full-Circle Moment

Keys reflects on the parallels between the protagonist Ali and her own life—both daughters of a white mother and Black father, growing up in subsidized housing near Times Square. "Hell's Kitchen" is not just a production; it's a poignant full-circle moment for the Keys family.

Critical Acclaim

Broadway's latest sensation, "Hell's Kitchen," the newest jukebox musical. Joining hits like "A Beautiful Noise," "Juliet," "MJ," and "Moulin Rouge!," Alicia Keys, a Broadway co-producer since "Stick Fly" in 2011, adds her touch to the legacy of pop and rock icons shaping musicals.
