“ALICIA KEYS’ HIT R&B SONGS SOAR ONSTAGE.” – New York Post 

“A POWERFUL, IRRESISTIBLE, BEAUTY OF A MUSICAL.” – The Telegraph

The Details

 AKW Productions is thrilled to announce the Broadway premiere of the new musical HELL’S KITCHEN will star Tony Award nominee Shoshana Bean (Wicked, Waitress, Mr. Saturday Night), Tony Award nominee Brandon Victor Dixon (Hamilton, Shuffle Along, The Color Purple), Kecia Lewis (Ain’t Misbehavin’, The Drowsy Chaperone, Children of a Lesser God) and Chris Lee (Hamilton) and Maleah Joi Moon both making their Broadway debuts. They will reprise the roles they created in the critically acclaimed, sold-out run at The Public Theater. The Guardian praised the principal cast “who together have enough star power to light up a constellation,” with Moon’s professional debut earning them recognition on the New York Times "Breakout Stars of 2023". Additional casting is to be announced at a later date.

HELL’S KITCHEN is conceived by the innovative mind of 16-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys, with music and lyrics by Keys, book by Pulitzer Prize finalist Kristoffer Diaz, music supervision by Emmy and Grammy Award winner Adam Blackstone, music consulting by two-time Tony and Emmy winner Tom Kitt, choreography by Tony Award nominee Camille A. Brown and direction by Tony Award nominee Michael Greif.

HELL’S KITCHEN will begin performances on Thursday, March 28, 2024, with an opening night set for Saturday, April 20, 2024, at Broadway’s Shubert Theatre (225 West 44th Street.). Tickets are currently on sale at HellsKitchen.com and Telecharge.com. Ticket prices range from $59-199.

The Story

There’s a place where the city's rhythm is music, where every corner has a story, and every window is a kaleidoscope. Where a girl can step out of her apartment and find the world. That’s Hell’s Kitchen, a new musical from 16-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys that’s about to make Broadway feel brand new. 

The creative team for Hell’s Kitchen includes Robert Brill (Scenic Design), Dede Ayite (Costume Design), Natasha Katz (Lighting Design), Gareth Owen (Sound Design), Peter Nigrini (Projection Design), Mia Neal (Hair and Wig Design), Michael Clifton (Makeup Design), Heidi Griffiths and Kate Murray (Casting), Danny Maly (Production Stage Manager), and Foresight Theatrical (General Management).

The music team of Hell’s Kitchen includes orchestrations by Tom Kitt and Adam Blackstone, arrangements by Alicia Keys and Adam Blackstone, music consulting by Tom Kitt, and music direction by Lily Lang.

Hell’s Kitchen made its world premiere on October 24, 2023, running until January 14, 2024, including a five-week extension—at The Public Theater this past fall.
