“Hell’s Kitchen” at Broadway San Diego is an exuberant, moving celebration of art, ambition, family, and the people who help you find your voice.
Review: HELL’S KITCHEN Lets Alicia Keys’ R&B Shine at Broadway San Diego
by Lucía Serrano - Aug 13, 2026
I’ve loved the music of 17-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys for more than two decades, but the award-winning musical Hell’s Kitchen gave her songs new meaning and possibilities. After opening on Broadway in April 2024, the musical ran for nearly two years at the Shubert Theatre, playing 767 regular performances and 23 previews before closing in February 2026. Now, the musical is hitting the road, bringing Keys’ music and a story inspired by her own upbringing in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen to audiences across North America.
Review: HELL'S KITCHEN is on Fire at Broadway Sacramento
by Courtney Symes - Aug 1, 2026
Step into the concrete jungle where dreams are made of! Broadway Sacramento’s newest tour is aptly titled for our Sacramento summers, and Hell’s Kitchen is heating up the stage. This coming-of-age musical features the music and lyrics of Alicia Keys and is overflowing with enough heart, soul, and energy to light up Times Square. This two-time Tony Award-winning jukebox musical is much more than just familiar hits. It’s an inspiring, semi-autobiographical story about family, first love, and finding your voice, all wrapped up in one electrifying evening of theatre.
Review: HELL'S KITCHEN at Paramount Theatre
by Amelia Divine - Jul 23, 2026
Alicia Keys can write the hell out of a song. Her catalog has been the soundtrack to heartbreaks and first loves for more than two decades. Hell's Kitchen, the Grammy winner's semi-autobiographical musical now at the Paramount Theatre, is a welcome reminder of just how singular her music really is. The R&B musical may stumble as a coming-of-age drama, but as a celebration of Keys' artistry, it's, well, on fire.
Review: HELL’S KITCHEN at the Eccles Theater Has Swagger and Soul
by Tyler Hinton - Jul 8, 2026
The national tour of Alicia Keys’ HELL’S KITCHEN has arrived at the Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City with swagger and soul. This show is unlikely to play in Utah again, so seize this chance to experience something different and meaningful.
Review: HELL'S KITCHEN at Hollywood Pantages
by Evan Henerson - Jun 3, 2026
As substantial as its built-in assets are, the two-time Tony Award winner, musical is lacking in other areas. Book writer Kristoffer Diaz has crafted an exciting leading character, and an even more interesting supporting player. Alas, he has also included a rather perfunctory family triangle that gums up the play’s second act

Review: HELL'S KITCHEN at Orpheum Theatre
by Steve Murray - May 8, 2026
Hell’s Kitchen recently closed on Broadway where it was a critical and commercial success garnering 13 Tony nomination and winning two. This touring production allows the rest of the country to experience a brief taste of New York City’s pulsing rhythms set to the music and reflections of Alicia Keys teen years in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood.
Review: HELL'S KITCHEN at ASU Gammage
by Herbert Paine - Apr 29, 2026
HELL’S KITCHEN leaves you with the sensation that at the very least Alicia Keys has done something instinctively theatrical: she’s turned the noise of her youth into music, and the city that raised her into a stage big enough to contain it.
Review: ALICIA KEYS' HELL'S KITCHEN at Denver Center For The Performing Arts
by Tessa Nelson - Apr 21, 2026
Alicia Keys’ Hell’s Kitchen at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts tells a perfectly coherent story—it’s just not a very interesting one. An overprotective mother badgers her daughter to stay safely in her apartment and away from the glitz, glamour, and danger of those pernicious New York City Streets; a father forges an emotional and artistic connection with his daughter, but is only there for her inconsistently; a young, naïve girl is looking for love in all the wrong places.
Review: HELL'S KITCHEN NORTH AMERICAN TOUR (OKC) at Civic Center Music Hall 4/7/26
by AlyTheFirst - Apr 10, 2026
Based on the life story of Alicia Keys, Hell's Kitchen not only brings you all of the hits, I mean all of these hits, but takes you into Alicia's world before it even starts. The tone is set by the cipher-ish DJ set (Alicia's playlist growing up, maybe?), reminiscent of 106& Park, Rap City, Digital Underground, and artists on the street corner inviting you into a melodic flow of New York (many of us grew up on IYKYK).
Review: HELL'S KITCHEN at Straz Center
by Deborah Bostock-Kelley - Mar 27, 2026
I walked in knowing only a handful of the songs, and it made no difference. Hell’s Kitchen at the Straz is driven by feeling, character, and raw honesty. The music meets you where you are.
