TL;DR

"Hell's Kitchen," a new musical based on the life and catalog of Alicia Keys, opens with notable verve and efficiency, introducing the main characters, setting, plot, and conflict. However, the show disappoints in the second act, succumbing to the pitfalls of jukebox musicals. Despite this, the ambitious production shows promise and aims to move to Broadway.
