About Hell's Kitchen

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 life and songs inspire an experience made for Broadway.

Set in the rhythm of the 90s, Ali is rebellious and stifled by an overprotective single mother until she meets her mentor: a neighbor who shows her how to cultivate the power of piano and opens her mind and heart. This is an intergenerational story everyone can love – one of finding yourself, your purpose, and the community that lifts you. Come remember where dreams begin.
