SUMMARY:HELL’S KITCHEN
DESCRIPTION:Ali is a 17-year-old girl full of fire–searching for freedom\, passion and her place in the world. \nHow she finds them is a New York City coming-of-age story you’ve never felt before–HELL’S KITCHEN\, a new musical from 16-time Grammy® Award winner Alicia Keys\, whose new songs and greatest hits about growing up in NY inspire a story made for Broadway. \nRebellious and stifled by an overprotective single mother\, Ali is lost until she meets her mentor: a neighbor who opens her heart and mind to the power of the piano. Set to the rhythm of the 90s\, HELL’S KITCHEN is a love story between a mother and daughter. It’s about finding yourself\, your purpose\, and the community that lifts you. Come remember where dreams begin. \nHailed as a New York Times Critic’s Pick that is\, “thrilling from beginning to end–a rare must-see!” HELL’S KITCHEN is directed by four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif\, with choreography by four-time Tony Award nominee Camille A. Brown\, a book by Pulitzer Prize finalist Kristoffer Diaz\, and the music of Alicia Keys.
