Alicia Keys's musical Hell's Kitchen is a mother/daughter story above all else. It's about a 17-year-old named Ali and her overprotective single mother, Jersey, loosely inspired by Keys and her own mother. Throughout the show, the headstrong Ali learns to accept her mother's tough love, and Jersey learns not to hurt others in the name of protecting Ali.

New York Theatre Guide's critic wrote, "Hell's Kitchen depicts mother/daughter relationships in all its love and messiness alike. (My mother, with whom I attended the show, teared up three separate times.)"
