Christopher Jackson to join 'Hell's Kitchen' Broadway cast
The Grammy and Emmy Award-winning actor will succeed current cast member Durrell “Tank” Babbs in Alicia Keys's Tony and Grammy-winning musical beginning in June.
There's nothing he can't do! Christopher Jackson will join the cast of Hell's Kitchen on Broadway on June 3 at the Shubert Theatre.
Jackson is best known for originating the role of George Washington in Hamilton on Broadway, for which he won a Grammy Award and earned a Tony nomination. His onscreen credits include And Just Like That..., Bull, and When They See Us. Additionally, he earned an Emmy Award for composing the original song "What I Am" for Sesame Street.
In Hell's Kitchen, Jackson will assume the role of Davis from Durrell “Tank” Babbs, who departs the production June 1. The current cast also includes Amanda Reid as Ali, Jessica Vosk as Jersey, Kecia Lewis as Miss Liza Jane (Tony Award), and Phillip Johnson Richardson as Knuck.
Set to the songs of Alicia Keys and loosely inspired by the multi-award-winning musician's life, Hell's Kitchen follows 17-year-old Ali as she navigates her relationship with her mom, pursues romance with a local drummer, and discovers her passion for music as she comes of age in the NYC neighborhood of the title.
