Before the show, Alicia Keys sat down for an interview with Clarkson to discuss the show's inspiration, her Tony nomination, and more.
“Hell's Kitchen was inspired by so many diverse stories that I witnessed, especially at Manhattan Plaza. There aren't always complex and unique stories out there, so I wanted to create some of them myself,” Keys told Clarkson.
Check out the full interview here:
Keys and Clarkson also played a Broadway quiz game called “If You Know This Show You Should Know!”, with topics including “Annie,” “My Fair Lady,” and more.
Hell's Kitchen tells the story of Ali, a passionate 17-year-old girl searching for freedom, passion and her place in the world. Watching her find them is a New York coming-of-age story like she's never felt before. Hell's Kitchen is a new musical from 16-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys, whose songs and experiences growing up in New York City inspired a Broadway story.
Oppressed by her rebellious and overprotective single mother, Ali is lost, but when she meets her mentor, a neighbor, she opens her heart and mind to the power of the piano. Set to 90s rhythms, “Hell's Kitchen” is a mother-daughter love story about finding yourself, your purpose, and a community that encourages you. Relive where your dreams began.
