‘Hell’s Kitchen’ Will End Broadway Run and Open Overseas
The New York Times • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Alicia Keys, lead producer and creative force behind the Broadway musical "Hell’s Kitchen," announced the show will close on Broadway on February 22 after nearly two years.
- The decision to close the Broadway production comes as the show has not recouped its $22 million capitalization, though it has returned 60% to investors.
- Keys emphasized her fiduciary responsibility to investors and highlighted the success of the ongoing North American tour, which is selling out venues and driving focus toward international productions in Australia, Germany, and South Korea.
- "Hell’s Kitchen" is a semi-autobiographical musical that follows a 17-year-old girl’s coming-of-age journey in an artists’ housing development near Times Square, reflecting aspects of Keys’s own adolescence
