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 17-time Grammy® Award winner Alicia Keys, whose new songs and greatest hits about growing up in NY inspire a story made for Broadway.

Why We Like It

  • 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.
