Hell's Kitchen is a jukebox musical that follows a young girl coming of age in 1990s Hell's Kitchen, exploring her relationship with her mother through songs from Alicia Keys’ catalog and original compositions. The musical opened on Broadway in 2024 and received 13 Tony Award nominations, including best musical. The Los Angeles debut runs at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre from May 26 to June 21 as the second stop on a 45-city North American tour. Serena Williams joined the production as a producer. Keys expects Los Angeles audiences to connect with universal themes despite the New York City setting.
"We spent 13 years developing this piece. I believe in this deeply. I stand behind it. I stand for it."
"L.A. is the second stop on the musical's 45-city North American tour. With a book by Kristoffer Diaz and directed by Michael Greif, the show features hits from Keys' career, along with additional music and lyrics written by Keys and various collaborators for the show. Legendary tennis player and entrepreneur Serena Williams also joined the tour as a producer."
"She saw the show early, and she was just totally taken. I think she said something like, 'Alicia, you made this young thug cry,' Keys recounted. She was so connected to it and felt really, really engaged with it. Obviously, she's such an incredible businesswoman and visionary. It just felt right."
