Hell's Kitchen performed Kaleidoscope on the Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon on the Friday, March 22 episode. The performance marked the musical's broadcast television debut.
Alicia Keys and Maleah Joi Moon also sat down with Jimmy Fallon to discuss bringing the show to Broadway.
Keys says she knew Moon was the one for the role. "We all knew that she was the one. It's a long journey. It takes a very special person. You have to be able to be a killer dancer, killer singer, killer vocalist, killer actor, and she's so phenomenal. And you have to have that New York energy."
Of the score, Moon states: "It's like these classics, and these anthems, but you've never heard them in this way before. They're real earworms."
