Hell's Kitchen on Broadway has announced the final installment of their "Encore Sessions" post-show concert series ahead of the show's closing. The series will return for one night only February 21.
Hell's Kitchen creator and 17-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys will reunite with original Broadway cast members Maleah Joi Moon and Shoshana Bean, as well as Grammy winner Brandon Victor Dixon, who recently returned to his Tony-nominated role as Davis.
Hell's Kitchen features music and lyrics by 17-time Grammy winner Keys and a book by Kristoffer Diaz. Inspired by the recording artist's life, the story centers on 17-year-old Ali and her mother, sharing a cramped apartment near Times Square. Ali wants to live out her NYC dream, but Jersey is scared her daughter will repeat her own mistakes. Ali is further confused when her estranged father—Davis, who is a musician—comes back into her life.
