Sat glued for entire performance!
"This was my 2nd time seeing this production… and I will go again! Keeps you engaged and wondering what comes next. The flow of the scenes is seamless! Appropriately designed set and musical selections. It draws you in and you go through a mass of emotions! It was Father's Day so there was a discussion with a couple of the actors (Allie and Davis) and the playwright following the performance."

A NYC story with awesome music
"We took our 17 year old daughter, who could see a lot of herself in Ali, to see Hell’s Kitchen. Both the plot and musical arrangements delivered! We all loved it. Highly recommend checking this out. Well done Alicia and team."

Heartfelt and uplifting!
"All the music was fantastic, and the staging was used brilliantly to make the most of a small space. Our only disappointment was we were not informed an understudy was playing Ali. However, she did quite well in the role. The actors playing the mother and Miss Liza Jane were particularly outstanding. "

Amazing theatrical performance
"This is a wonderful production based on the life of Alicia Keyes. The struggles teens experience growing up and trying to find their way. The story also featured the impact her mother and her "absent" father had on her life. Profound musical numbers which were all written by her."

What an experience
"The show was awesome, great choreography, vocals and storyline. Theatre seats very tight, but manageable. Toilet queuing at intermission was ridiculous, only two toilets, go before you get to rhe theatre. A definite must see."

Hell’s Kitchen Heats Up Broadway with Heart, Soul, and Pure Fire
"Hell’s Kitchen isn’t just a Broadway show—it’s a full-body experience that grabs your heart, shakes your spirit, and sends you out of the theater feeling completely changed. From the first electric note to the final curtain call, there is never a dull moment. The pace is relentless in the best way, pulling you through a powerful story with emotional highs, gut-punching truths, and bursts of joy that will have you laughing through your tears. The cast? Absolutely phenomenal. Every voice soared—raw, rich, and real. The singing wasn’t just technically flawless, it was emotionally charged. You felt every word deep in your soul. At its core, Hell’s Kitchen is about perspective—how youth can blind us to the sacrifices made for us, and how time gently (or sometimes not so gently) shifts our view. It’s a love letter to mothers, to misunderstood dreams, to the fire it takes to grow up and the grace it takes to forgive. This show doesn’t just entertain—it connects. It reminds us that while we may clash with those who raise us, their love often burns brighter than we realize. Hell’s Kitchen is a must-see masterpiece that blends fierce storytelling, unforgettable music, and emotional depth into something truly unforgettable. Go for the music. Stay for the message. Leave with a full heart."

Daddy /daughter day
"My daughter has dreams of preforming on Broadway one day. I am 55 and she is 12 so I thought this would a great show where she could see some young talent preform. It was a great storyline were we both knew the music and were also brought to tears a few times during a couple of emotional points during the performance. I would recommend this show to anyone. Great time had by both of us. My daughter also waited by the stage door and had the opportunity to take a picture with lead girl who played Ali."

An experience to remember
"I took my 15 year old daughter for her birthday. It was her first Broadway show. She couldn’t take her eyes off the stage, laughed hard, and cried. It was a beautiful thing to watch. After, the actors came out from the backstage door and were incredibly kind to her and signed her program. Thank you to them all! "

It’s not what you think, it’s better….
"This play is the character of young “Ali” telling her coming of age story with splashes of some of her most loved songs reimagined in such a beautiful and creative perspective. The cast is so talented and uses the entire stage in such an energetic and vibrant manner. I highly recommend to see this if you are someone who loves a good story about growing up and connecting with people in the most authentic way. "
