BROADWAY’S HELL’S KITCHEN ESTABLISHES COMPREHENSIVE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM


 BROADWAY’S HELL’S KITCHEN
ESTABLISHES COMPREHENSIVE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

Applications are now open at HellsKitchen.com.

Alicia Keys and Broadway’s HELL’S KITCHEN are thrilled to announce the establishment of a comprehensive Fellowship Program, dedicated to building and strengthening the Broadway employment pipeline by engaging and employing individuals from historically overlooked communities to become active and continuous participants in the Broadway workforce. The Fellowship Program will place Fellows across nine departments, including Direction, Choreography, Scenic Design, Costume Design, Lighting Design, Sound Design, Projection Design, Company Management/Executive Producing, and Public Relations.


“In bringing Hell’s Kitchen to Broadway, I’ve experienced firsthand the collaboration across the many disciplines of theater that goes into creating a big, new Broadway musical,” said producer Alicia Keys. “I’m also aware of the lack of representation across our industry and it quickly became a priority to establish this Fellowship program to offer guidance to underrepresented theater makers and create opportunities to deepen the impact of the art we are creating. We want to continue to challenge our industry to make a commitment to change and we are starting at home, at Hell’s Kitchen.”


Hell’s Kitchen made its world premiere at The Public Theater (Oskar Eustis, Artistic Director; Patrick Willingham, Executive Director; Mandy Hackett, Director of Public Theater Productions) in a sold-out run—October 24, 2023 -January 14, 2024, including a five-week extension. The cast at The Public Theater included Shoshana Bean, Chad Carstarphen, Reid Clarke, Chloe Davis, Nico DeJesus, Brandon Victor Dixon, Timothy L. Edwards, Desmond Sean Ellington, Badia Farha, Vanessa Ferguson, David Guzman, Crystal Monee Hall, Gianna Harris, Jakeim Hart, Chris Lee, Jackie Leon, Kecia Lewis, Raechelle Manalo, Jade Milan, Maleah Joi Moon, Onyxx Noel, Susan Oliveras, Sarah Parker, Aaron Nicholas Patterson, William Roberson, Niki Saludez, Mariand Torres, Donna Vivino, Lamont Walker II and Oscar Whitney Jr. The cast of the Broadway production will be announced shortly.

Hell’s Kitchen on Broadway is produced by AKW Productions. Aaron Lustbader will serve as Executive Producer.
