He's the pinball wizard! Ali Louis Bourzgui will star in the first Broadway revival of [*The Who's Tommy*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/36395-the-whos-tommy-tickets), which begins performances at the [Nederlander Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/nederlander-theatre) on March 8 ahead of a March 28 opening.

Bourzgui reprises the leading role of Tommy Walker from the production's pre-Broadway run at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago earlier this year. He won Chicago’s Jeff Award for his performance, and he now makes his Broadway debut.

Additional Broadway casting for *The Who's Tommy* has yet to be announced. The Chicago cast featured, alongside Bourzgui, Adam Jacobs as Captain Walker, Alison Luff as Mrs. Walker, John Ambrosino as Uncle Ernie, Bobby Conte as Cousin Kevin, and Christina Sajous as the Acid Queen.

The Tony Award-winning *The Who's Tommy* follows a young boy, catatonic from childhood trauma, as he discovers a knack for pinball, and with it local stardom, on his road to healing.

Des McAnuff, who directed the original Broadway production in 1993, returns to direct, and he also co-wrote the show with The Who's Pete Townshend. *The Who's Tommy* features the hit songs from the rock band's groundbreaking 1969 album, including "Pinball Wizard," “I'm Free,” and "We're Not Gonna Take It."

Tickets for the coming spring and summer will go on sale later this week for the production starring Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe, and Lindsay Mendez.

This show is on fire! [*Hell’s Kitchen*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/37579-hells-kitchen-broadway), the new musical featuring the songs of 15-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys, is really cooking. Immediately after wrapping its world-premiere run at The Public Theater, the show is moving to Broadway, beginning performances on March 28.

Marking Keys's debut as the creator of a theatrical production, *Hell’s Kitchen* is loosely based on her adolescent experiences in the New York City neighborhood that gives the show its title. The musical features a mix of Keys's existing and new songs as it follows 17-year-old Ali (you see what they’re doing there) as she awakens to the world around her — good, bad, artistic, and full of opportunity.

Working in concert with Keys’s evocative, emotionally charged music is an urban coming-of-age story by playwright Kristoffer Diaz and a dynamic staging by director Michael Greif. Before Hell’s Kitchen begins performances at the Shubert Theatre in March, learn more about the show’s cast, history, and production information.

## What is *Hell's Kitchen* about?

In 1990s NYC, 17-year-old Ali is on the brink of becoming an adult, of finding her passion, and of making her own decisions. “Ali sees her city as a place of opportunity,” New York Theatre Guide’s four-star [review](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/hells-kitchen-off-broadway-review-alicia-keys) reads.

That includes the chance for romance. Ali is looking for love – and it looks like she’s found it thanks to a hunky older bucket drummer. He pounds out his beckoning beats outside her apartment at Manhattan Plaza, a federally subsidized housing complex for artists.

Ali pursues her crush, much to his surprise and to the chagrin of her fiercely protective mother, Jersey. She aims to keep her daughter from following her bumpy life’s path. One of those bumps was Davis, Ali’s long-gone father. Amid the discordant mother-daughter drama and twists and turns of first love, Ali discovers her gift for music, one that’s bright enough to light her future.

## Where is *Hell's Kitchen* playing?

*Hell's Kitchen* is playing off Broadway at [The Public Theater](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/public-theater) through January 14. The theatre complex is located at 425 Lafayette Street in Manhattan.

## How long is *Hell's Kitchen*?

*Hell's Kitchen* runs 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one intermission. This is a typical off-Broadway and Broadway musical length, though musicals can run anywhere from 90 minutes to 3 hours. Intermissions are usually either 15 or 20 minutes long.

## When did *Hell's Kitchen* premiere?

The *Hell's Kitchen* musical had its world premiere off Broadway at the Public Theater in October 2023 after being in the works for over a decade. Discover a full developmental timeline of the show’s history below.

- 1981: Keys, the daughter of a white mother and Black father (like her alter ego Ali), was born in NYC and grew up at Manhattan Plaza, a housing complex largely home to artists located in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood. Drawn to the arts, Keys became a classically trained pianist who began writing songs as a teen.
- 2001: After graduating at the top of her Professional Performing Arts School class and studying briefly at Columbia University, Keys released her debut album, *Songs in A Minor*. The album featured the hit single, "Fallin’," which appears in the score of *Hell’s Kitchen*. Keys has since released eight more studio albums. 
- 2011: Keys co-produced and wrote original music for the Broadway production of Lydia R. Diamond’s family dramedy *Stick Fly*. The project “ignited this desire” to venture into theatrical storytelling, Keys said in an interview. *Hell’s Kitchen* bookwriter Kristoffer Diaz joined the project around the same time. 
- 2018: Michael Greif, the seasoned musical theatre director of *Rent* and *Dear Evan Hansen*, joined the project. He directed the show at both The Public Theater and on Broadway.
- 2023: *Hell’s Kitchen* is announced as part of the Public Theater’s 2023-2024 season. The show began performances on October 24, 2023. 
- 2024: *Hell’s Kitchen* transfers to Broadway, beginning performances at the Shubert Theatre on March 28.

## Who wrote *Hell's Kitchen*?

The *Hell's Kitchen* musical features a score by Alicia Keys that combines her famous hits, lesser-known songs, new tunes written for the stage, and previously unreleased music. 

The *Hell's Kitchen* book is by Kristoffer Diaz, whose play about a professional wrestler, *The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity*, was a 2010 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

![hells kitchen-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/2Hx9rRxE5tMryXifA8kJBu/864f7410e719fc44a38eafb103a1e83f/hells_kitchen-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## *Hell's Kitchen* characters

The Hell's Kitchen characters include various people in 1990s New York City. They include teenagers who, like Ali, are high school students, as well as members of her family, her love interest, and her piano teacher. Below are the main characters of the *Hell's Kitchen* musical.

- Ali: A 17-year-old girl awakening to first love, the desire for independence, and the possibility of becoming an artist.
- Jersey: Ali’s single mom who works two jobs and toils overtime to protect her daughter from repeating poor choices she made as a teenager. 
- Knuck: Ali’s older crush. He is a building painter and street drummer who uses an area near Manhattan Plaza as his stage.
- Davis: Ali’s absentee dad, a pianist who can turn on the charm and play 88 keys like nobody’s business.
- Miss Liza Jane: Ali’s strict but compassionate piano teacher, whose tutorials go beyond chord progressions to be invaluable life lessons.
- Other characters: Supporting players include Ali’s friends, Knuck’s fellow percussionists, and Ali’s watchful doorman.

## Who is in the cast of *Hell's Kitchen*?

The cast of the Off-Broadway premiere of the Hell's Kitchen musical features a combination of theatre veterans and newcomers, including Maleah Joi Moon as Ali, Shoshana Bean as Jersey, Chris Lee as Knuck, Tony winner Brandon Victor Dixon as Davis, and Kecia Lewis as Miss Liza Jane. 

The *Hell's Kitchen* Broadway cast has yet to be announced. Check back for updates on casting for *Hell's Kitchen* on Broadway. 

## *Hell's Kitchen* songs

The songs in the *Hell’s Kitchen* musical are all by Keys, who wrote both the music and the lyrics. The score features a mix of existing songs and three new tunes: "The River," "Kaleidoscope" (both written prior to *Hell's Kitchen* but never released) and "Seventeen" (written for the show). Here are all the songs in *Hell's Kitchen* off Broadway; this song list is subject to change ahead of the Broadway opening.

## What awards has *Hell's Kitchen* won?

*Hell's Kitchen* just premiered in the 2023-24 theatre seasons and has yet to be nominated for awards. The musical will be eligible for awards toward the end of the 2023-2024 season in late spring.

The musical's individual creators, however, have all earned nominations and wins for many awards. Songwriter Keys has 15 Grammy Awards among dozens of other honors, bookwriter Diaz is a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and director Greif has four Tony Award nominations.

## Major productions of *Hell's Kitchen*

The 2023 Off-Broadway and 2024 Broadway stagings of *Hell's Kitchen* are the show's only major productions thus far. Should the musical continue to succeed, national and international productions could bring *Hell's Kitchen* far beyond the neighborhood it's named for.

## Fun facts about *Hell's Kitchen*

Did you know that Keys isn't the only famous artist to have called Hell's Kitchen home, and she's also in the company of fellow NYC locals on the *Hell's Kitchen* creative team? Learn more fun facts about the title neighborhood and the musical it inspired.

- The show’s lead creators are all New York natives. Keys grew up in Manhattan, Diaz hails from Yonkers and now lives in Brooklyn, Grief is a Brooklyn boy, and choreographer Camille A. Brown is from Queens.
- Ali’s two maternal influences loom large in *Hell’s Kitchen*: her single mom, here called Jersey, and her piano teacher, called Miss Liza Jane. Jersey's mantra: “Sit and eat.” Miss Liza Jane’s: “Come sit. Play.”
- *Hell's Kitchen* is one of two musicals coming to Broadway via the Public in spring 2024; the other is Shaina Taub's [*Suffs*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/24495-suffs-musical-tickets), about the suffrage movement.

<h2>The Magic Flute</h2>

The Magic Flute continues The Metropolitan Opera's annual tradition of presenting abridged, English-language operas around the holidays to bring in family audiences. The opera starts off like many classic fairytales, with a prince sent by a queen to rescue a princess in distress. He's helped along in his quest by the titular charmed instrument, which turns sadness into joy when he plays it. Once he rescues the princess, however, the two realize her captor is actually kind and wise, and it's the queen that needs to be defeated.

The Far Country - NYC Product Media

Lloyd Suh brings his newest play,&nbsp;The Far Country, off Broadway. Get&nbsp;The Far Country&nbsp;tickets on New York Theatre Guide.The Far Country&nbsp;is a play set in the immediate aftermath of the Chinese Exclusion Act, which prevented all Chinese people from immigrating to the U.S. in 1882. What was originally written as a 10-year ban extended longer with the 1892 Geary Act, which made extremely limited exceptions for certain occupations, and the 1943 Magnuson Act, which re-allowed only 105 Chinese immigrats per year. Chinese immigration restrictions weren't fully lifted until 1952.Suh's show is set in those early years, shortly after the initial&nbsp;Chinese Exclusion Act's creation. It tells the story of one family who, like so many others in history, dared to defy the law. This family begins their journey in a rural part of Taishan, China and endeavors to make it out to the American West, to California.&nbsp;The Far Country&nbsp;tells one story of bravery and perseverance amid discrimination.Directing&nbsp;The Far Country&nbsp;in New York is Eric Ting, who won a 2013 Obie Award for helming Jackie Sibblies Drury's&nbsp;We Are Proud to Present a Presentation About the Herero of Namibia, Formerly Known as South West Africa, From the German Sudwestafrika, Between the Years 1884 - 1915&nbsp;at Soho Rep. He recently directed another play of Suh's, the children's play&nbsp;Bina's Six Apples,&nbsp;in Atlanta, Georgia.The Far Country&nbsp;is a follow-up to Suh's last Off-Broadway play,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/the-chinese-lady" target="_blank">The Chinese Lady</a>,&nbsp;which also tells a historical story of a Chinese person's journey to America. That show went up at <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/public-theater" target="_blank">The Public Theater</a> in winter 2022, and presented the story of Afong Moy, widely believed to be the first Chinese person to come to America. Unlike the family in&nbsp;The Far Country&nbsp;off Broadway, she was welcomed (that is, purchased by American importers), but paraded around for decades as the centerpiece of a living museum exhibit of "Chinese culture" for the American public to gawk at.That show was one of the most produced plays across the U.S. in the 2021-22 season, and the Off-Broadway production was met with acclaim. The <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/the-chinese-lady-off-broadway-review" target="_blank">New York Theatre Guide review</a> calls it "an evocative and eye-opening excavation of difference and a seductive appeal for greater understanding."Tickets to The Far Country off Broadway are on sale now.Photo credit: Karin Shook

Lloyd Suh, the acclaimed playwright of The Chinese Lady, returns off Broadway with a new tale of a cross-continental journey. Just after the Chinese Exclusion Act is passed, a family in rural Taishan, China, braves danger to make a trip to California against all odds. Find out more about The Far Country tickets.

Less than a year after Lloyd Suh's last New York play, *The Chinese Lady*, ran to acclaim, he returns off Broadway with the world premiere of *The Far Country*. Get *The Far Country* tickets on TodayTix.

*The Far Country* is a play set just after the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed, banning all Chinese immigration into the U.S. The show follows one fictional family who, like many real-life ones, dared to make the journey to America anyway in search of a better life. They travel from Taishan, a rural region of China, to California, braving danger at every turn.

Suh's *The Chinese Lady* was one of the most produced plays nationally in the 2021-22 theatre season. One of those productions was at The Public Theater this past spring, which received critical acclaim and multiple Off-Broadway awards nominations. Prior to *The Chinese Lady* and *The Far Country* off Broadway, Suh had two previous plays in New York: *The Wong Kids in The Secret of the Space Chupacabra Go!* and *Jesus in India*.

Eric Ting directs *The Far Country* in New York. He is an Obie Award winner for directing Jackie Sibblies Drury's *We Are Proud to Present...* in 2013. He also directed *The World of Extreme Happiness* in 2015 for Manhattan Theatre Club.

## What to Watch For

- Themes of journeying and Chinese Americans recur in Suh's plays. *The Chinese Lady* was about the first Chinese woman to come to America in the 1800s.
- Shannon Tyo, who starred in *The Chinese Lady* off Broadway, also appears in *The Far Country* off Broadway.
- Suh also has another play, *Exclusion*, that deals with the Chinese Exclusion Act specifically. That show follows Chinese migrants detained on Angel Island, off the California coast.
- Restrictions on Chinese immigration to the U.S. were in place for 70 years, from 1882 to 1952.
- Director Eric Ting previously directed another of Suh's shows: *Bina's Six Apples*, a play for children, in Atlanta.

The Far Country - NYC - TodayTix

As you settle in at Lloyd Suh’s [*The Far Country*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/26789-the-far-country-tickets), you’ll see a figure seated on stage. Facing away from the audience and still as a statue, he’s been perched there since the audience was allowed in. He sits. And sits. And sits.

This staging suggests detention and waiting figure prominently in this intriguing yet sometimes elusive drama about people from Taishan, China, whose lives intertwine to form a family. 

In 1909 San Francisco, stone-faced officials grill Gee (Jinn S. Kim, the pre-show sitter). They’re questioning his status as a native-born American. Gregarious and a bit goofy, Gee must convince them of his citizenship to briefly return to Taishan to visit his wife. He says they wed in 1893 and have three kids. He hopes to bring his son back to California to work with him at his laundry. 

That won’t be easy. In the spring of 1882, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which banned Chinese people from coming to America. Gee’s interview ends and the scene shifts forward in time to Taishan. Gee’s demeanor has done a 180-degree turn. No longer meek and mild, he’s calculating and in control. Was everything he told officials a lie? Seems so.

He’s making a deal with no-nonsense Low (Amy Kim Waschke) in order to bring her teenage son, Moon Gyet, (Eric Yang) to San Francisco as his own son. Defying the law carries high risk and a steep price. That includes Moon Gyet giving up his name and identity.

The scene shifts to the Angel Island Detention Center in San Francisco Bay, where Moon Gyet, who now goes by Gee Lip Lun, is 63 days into what ends up being a 17-month stay. Interrogators question him relentlessly, looking for a tiny inconsistency that will get him shipped back to China. 

Compliant and self-contained, the teen responds to each query. An inspector concludes that detainees answer every question because “they are always lying.” 

The scene flashes forward once more to Taishan, where Moon Gyet has a wrenching reunion with Low. He’s there, he tells her, to “sell my name” to someone who’ll pay to accompany him to San Francisco. He needs money to pay off Gee, who helped pull strings enabling him to stay in the U.S. 

Yuen (Shannon Tyo), pragmatic but optimistic, agrees to come to America and be his wife and bear his children. Despite discrimination, detainments, and deceptions, an unlikely but true family emerges.

One of Suh’s strengths is his ability to mix realism and poetic elements. He uses that here as he shines a light on a dark slice of American history and builds a play around it. The timeline could be clearer, along with an indication of why these Chinese men and women risked so much to be in the U.S. They faced so many hardships there.

In this [Atlantic Theater Company](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/linda-gross-theater) presentation, director Eric Ting guides a uniformly excellent cast. Tyo, seen previously in Suh's [*The Chinese Lady*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/the-chinese-lady-off-broadway-review), about a different fraught journey from Asia to America, arrives well into the play and shifts the story into high gear.

There’s fine work by the design team, including Clint Ramos, whose spare but striking set reveals some surprise elements the director employs. So why were actors suddenly standing up to their ankles in water? I have no idea, and that’s no lie.

Atlantic Theater Company’s main venue is the Linda Gross Theater. The venue is a 199-seat theatre housed within the Parish House for St. Peter’s Church in the Chelsea district of Manhattan. 

The building was constructed in 1871 and has a storied history as a space for amateur performances. It also housed art exhibitions, community classes and even functioned as a practice court for the historic New York Knickerbockers baseball team. 

Atlantic permanently moved into the venue in 1991. In 2012, the company completed an $8.6 million interior renovation to modernize the space. The three-year project received $2.4 million in city funding, with the rest being supplied by Atlantic’s Board of Directors and individual and foundation donors.
