A stunning behind-the-scenes look into Alicia Keys's hit Broadway musical, Hell's Kitchen, featuring never-before-seen photographs, exclusive interviews, and insights from Keys herself. Hell's Kitchen debuted on Broadway in 2024—and the show has been electrifying audiences ever since.

Based on Keys's own experiences of growing up in New York City's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood in the 1990s, the show follows Ali, a headstrong teen searching for her independence, her voice, and her place in the world. Stifled by an overprotective mother, Ali is lost until she meets her mentor: a neighbor who opens her heart to the power of music.
