Alicia Keys’ Broadway musical is reaching critical acclaim. Hell’s Kitchen, the stage play featuring original music and classic work from the singer and inspired by her personal coming-of-age story in New York City, has earned over a dozen Tony Award nominations for the 2024 ceremony.
Hell’s Kitchen chronicles the journey of the lead character, Ali, whose rebellious spirit is maintained by her overprotective single mother. The official website details, “Ali is lost until she meets her mentor: a neighbor who opens her heart and mind to the power of the piano.”
The love story between the mother and daughter is led by Shoshana Bean, Brandon Victor Dixon, Kecia Lewis, Chris Lee, and Maleah Joi Moon. The musical is directed by four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif, choreographed by Tony Award nominee Camille A. Brown, and features a book by Pulitzer Prize finalist Kristoffer Diaz.
