About the show: Hell’s Kitchen is a musical created by Alicia Keys. The story is about Ali, a 17-year-old girl who wants to be independent and lives in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of New York City with her overprotective, single mother. In her apartment building, Ali meets a piano teacher who helps her discover her passion for music, teaches her to appreciate her family and community, and helps prepare her for adulthood. The music includes well-known songs by Alicia Keys as well as new songs written just for the show. There are energetic dances to go with the songs. The show has a script by Kristoffer Diaz, direction by Michael Greif and choreography by Camille A. Brown. The story is inspired by Alicia Keys’ own life growing up in Manhattan Plaza, an apartment building in Hell’s Kitchen.
