HELL’S KITCHEN @ Centennial Hall
2026-08-18 - 2026-08-23 | Centennial Hall, 1020 E University Blvd, Tucson, AZ, 85719, United States
Ali is a 17-year-old girl full of fire – searching for freedom, passion and her place in the world.
How she finds them is a New York City coming-of-age story you’ve never felt before – HELL’S KITCHEN, a new musical from 16-time Grammy® Award winner Alicia Keys, whose new songs and greatest hits about growing up in NY inspire a story made for Broadway.
Rebellious and stifled by an overprotective single mother, Ali is lost until she meets her mentor: a neighbor who opens her heart and mind to the power of the piano. Set to the rhythm of the 90s, HELL’S KITCHEN is a love story between a mother and daughter. It’s about finding yourself, your purpose, and the community that lifts you. Come remember where dreams begin.
Hailed as a New York Times Critic’s Pick that is, “thrilling from beginning to end – a rare must-see!” HELL’S KITCHEN is directed by four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif, with choreography by four-time Tony Award nominee Camille A. Brown, a book by Pulitzer Prize finalist Kristoffer Diaz, and the music of Alicia Keys.

RUN TIME
2 hrs, 35 min (includes 1 intermission)
AGE RECOMMENDATION AND DISCLAIMER
HELL’S KITCHEN is recommended for ages 8 and up and contains some strong language and moments with mature themes.
