Why see Hells Kitchen?
The Diary of Alicia Keys? Almost!
Nominated for 13 2024 Tony Awards!
As seen on Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!
With "iconic music and absolute powerhouse vocals" (Variety), it's no surprise that Grammy Award-winning Alicia Keys' musical has become as much of a smash hit on Broadway as her 90-million-record-selling musical legacy. Now showing at Broadway's Shubert Theatre and created by playwright and Pulitzer Prize finalist Kristoffer Diaz, with music by the R&B queen herself, the story is largely drawn from the singer's own life and her upbringing in the Bronx. Maleah Joi Moon won the 2024 Tony for Best Leading Actress in a Musical for her role, with Kecia Lewis winning Best Featured Actress in a Musical.
What Is The Story?
Seventeen-year-old Ali dreams of a life beyond the humdrum she has now. A chance meeting and unheralded friendships stoke the aspirational fire in her heart and set her on a path to greatness. A hit at its Off-Broadway premiere in fall 2023, don't miss this chance to catch Hell's Kitchen on the Great White Way.

Critic's review
Grounded in reality, but with anthemic melodies soaring overhead, it is easily the best new musical at the Public since Hamilton.

This show is on fire
We saw a great new show last night: Hells Kitchen at The Public Theater downtown. It was the biggest collection of talent on a single stage since Hamilton opened there a hundred years ago. It was energetic, moving, engaging and loveable. The first act reveals the incredible range of vocal talent this show holds. I didn’t want it to end. The second act pulls the heartstrings and feels real and sad and loving. As we left the theater I vowed to buy tickets to see it again before it closes. It’s that remarkable. ... Read more
