Summary

- Hell's Kitchen sets the story of a fiery young Manhattan teenager to the songs of Alicia Keys
The kitchen is closing. After a nearly two-year Broadway run, Hell's Kitchen will play its final performance at the Shubert Theatre on February 22.
Co-created by and set to the hit songs of Alicia Keys, Hell’s Kitchen follows 17-year-old Ali as she comes of age in the title Manhattan neighborhood, chasing love, independence, and a newfound passion for music. The musical premiered off Broadway at The Public Theater in 2023 before transferring to Broadway, winning two Tony Awards (out of 13 nominations) as well as the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.
"Hell's Kitchen makes New York's streets — and Alicia Keys' songs — feel brand-new," New York Theatre Guide's review reads. "Powerhouse vocal, acting, and dance performances turn the concrete jungle into a living, breathing soundscape filled with art and possibility."
The current Hell's Kitchen Broadway cast includes Ne-Yo as Davis, Amanda Reid as Ali, Yolanda Adams as Miss Liza Jane (through January 25), Kelsee Kimmel as Jersey, and Lamont Walker II as Knuck. Additionally, Tony Award-nominated original cast member Brandon Victor Dixon will return to the role of Davis from January 27 until closing; Ne-Yo departs January 25.
