HELL'S KITCHEN is a new musical from 17-time Grammy® Award winner Alicia Keys that tells the coming-of-age story of Ali, a 17-year-old girl searching for freedom, passion, and her place in the world in 1990s New York City. Rebellious and stifled by an overprotective single mother, Ali finds guidance and inspiration from a neighbor who opens her heart and mind to the power of the piano.
