HELL’S KITCHEN is a tribute to Alicia Key’s teenage years, her mentors, her family, her life lessons, her neighborhood, and of course her musical abilities. And as Ms. Keys is wont to do, she lays it out raw and honestly. Afflicted with the usual teenage angst, rebellion, and positivity that she knows all she needs to know, this story is spectacular in the realization of where it all led. Keys reminds you that the journey was not easy, that there were many things to learn, and that she is still learning. And she does it with much humor and her glorious music. The storyline is enhanced by unique characters, refreshing choreography (Camille A. Brown), creative scenic design (Robert Brill), and projections of New York City and Manhattan Plaza (Peter Nigrini). HELL’S KITCHEN is a trip worth taking.
