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 songs and experiences growing up in NY inspire a story made for Broadway.

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. Come remember where dreams begin.

The “powerhouse cast” (Variety) is led by Shoshana Bean, Brandon Victor Dixon, Kecia Lewis, Chris Lee, and Maleah Joi Moon. Hell’s Kitchen is directed by four-time Tony Award® nominee Michael Greif, with choreography by Tony Award nominee Camille A. Brown, a book by Pulitzer Prize finalist Kristoffer Diaz – and the music of Keys, featuring new songs and her greatest hits.

Here is why we at Broadway Inbound think it's a perfect show for groups:

This production is a love letter to New York City, capturing the essence of its diverse neighborhoods, particularly Hell's Kitchen. The show is a testament to the resilience, passion, and creativity that lives in every New Yorker, and it's brought to life in a way that only Alicia Keys can.

The seeds of this show were sown years ago, as Keys often found herself imagining a musical inspired by her own experiences growing up in New York City. The gritty yet lively neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, which she saw as a microcosm of the city's energy and diversity, was the perfect setting for her story. Over time, she developed the musical's score, containing both her older hits and new songs.

Hell's Kitchen brilliantly showcases the complexities of a mother-daughter relationship amidst the backdrop of a young woman striving to find her place in the world. The story takes the audience on a trip through family ties and personal dreams. It captures the highs and lows, love, and occasional disagreements in a way that strikes a chord. Hell's Kitchen is a reminder that life, much like theatre, is a mixture of comedy, tragedy, and unscripted moments, all of which contribute to a captivating performance that stays with the audience long after the final curtain call.

One of the major highlights of Hell's Kitchen is, of course, the music. In her Broadway debut as a composer, Keys created a score that pulses with the city's energy, blending pop, soul, hip-hop, and traditional Broadway melodies. From heart-wrenching ballads to uptempo, toe-tapping numbers, the music is a character in itself, evoking the highs and lows of life in NYC.

In Hell's Kitchen, Michael Greif, who is known for his fresh storytelling style and dynamic plotlines in shows like Rent and Dear Evan Hansen, is the mastermind director. With Greif at the helm, the cast gives a powerful performance, expertly handling the complex personalities of their characters. The crew behind the scenes deserves equal recognition, starting with choreographer Camille A. Brown, known for her work on Choir Boy and For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide, who captures the electric energy of NYC with impressive accuracy.

Hell's Kitchen is an unforgettable Broadway experience that celebrates the magic of New York City and the power of dreams. Perfect for groups, it's a must-see for fans of Alicia Keys, Broadway enthusiasts, and anyone who's ever dared to dream big.
