HELL'S KITCHEN to Launch Multi-Year North American Tour in Fall 2025

HELL’S KITCHEN will launch a Second Company in North America with a multi-year tour conducting technical rehearsals and premiering at Cleveland’s Playhouse Square in Cleveland, Ohio in the fall of 2025. HELL’S KITCHEN, which is simultaneously playing at the Shubert Theatre in New York City, will visit more than 30 cities in its first year on tour.  Additional engagements for the tour’s first year will be announced in the next several months. 
 
“Seeing HELL’S KITCHEN on a Broadway marquee has fulfilled one of my earliest and most influential dreams as an artist and a New Yorker,” said Alicia Keys. “I’m overjoyed by the impact it has already had with audiences that truly mirror the world around us in New York and I am ecstatic that we can bring the show to so many incredible cities across the
country. Let’s Gooooo!!!!!“
 
“We are so excited that Alicia Keys and her team have chosen to open the North American tour of HELL’S KITCHEN in Cleveland” said Playhouse Square President & CEO Craig Hassall. “Cleveland’s enthusiastic and diverse Broadway audiences will certainly give the show a rapturous welcome and we are so proud that we can lend our expertise and effort to making sure the tour starts off in grand fashion.”

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 NY inspire a story made for Broadway. See photos from the production HERE! 

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.

HELL’S KITCHEN is 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 and Tony Award nominee Kristoffer Diaz, and the music of 16-time Grammy Award-winner Alicia Keys.
