The popular singer had an agenda when she decided to take her catalog to Broadway.

“One of the goals of Hell’s Kitchen was to really open the door to those who have never stepped foot in a Broadway theater ever before.”

“This is all of our stories. That’s what I get from it; I get this ability to understand each other and to find our way. And it’s cathartic. You’re laughing, you’re singing, you’re crying — you’re a mess in this show. But you feel seen. And I think it’s really, really beautiful,” says Keys.

The semi-autobiographical jukebox musical ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ is currently playing at the Shubert Theatre.
