HELL'S KITCHEN announces final performance on Broadway
The Tony Award®, Grammy Award ® and Drama League Award-winning musical HELL’S KITCHEN will conclude its acclaimed Broadway run after nearly two years of sold-out performances and cultural milestones on 22 February at Broadway’s Shubert Theatre, it has been announced.
Original company member and Tony Award ® nominee Brandon Victor Dixon will return to the role of Davis from 27 January for the remainder of the run.
Inspired by 17-time Grammy Award-winner Alicia Keys’ own experiences growing up in the Hell’s Kitchen neighbourhood adjacent to the Broadway theatre district, HELL’S KITCHEN centres a story, a sound and a community often underrepresented on the mainstream stage. Through the coming-of-age story of Ali, the musical celebrates the diversity of New York, the power of mentorship, the discovery of young talent and the power of community, with a cast and audiences reflective of the cultural makeup of the city it portrays.
Relatable, raw, and refreshingly fun, it’s a celebration of finding yourself, your purpose, and the people who lift you up. The music—a mix of Keys’ classics and new songs written exclusively for the show—and exhilarating choreography bring to life a story that speaks to you no matter where you’re from, where you’ve been, or where you’re going. Come experience where dreams begin: HELL’S KITCHEN.
The “powerhouse cast” (Variety) is led by Amanda Reid, Kelsee Kimmel, four-time Grammy Award winner Yolanda Adams, three-time Grammy Award winner NE-YO, and Lamont Walker II.
HELL’S KITCHEN is directed by five-time Tony Award® nominee Michael Greif, with choreography by five-time Tony Award® nominee Camille A. Brown, a book by Pulitzer Prize finalist and Tony Award ® nominee Kristoffer Diaz – and the music of Keys, featuring new songs and her greatest hits.
