Alicia Celebrates Her Broadway Musical Hell’s Kitchen Nominated For 13 TONY Awards

Alicia Keys is in full celebration mode after learning that her Broadway musical Hell’s Kitchen has been nominated for a whopping 13 TONY Awards In an Instagram post on Wednesday (May 1), Swizz Beatz captured the moment his wife learned of the nominations and she was so excited, she popped a big bottle of champagne at 7 in the morning. “13 TONY Nominations is worthy of popping a bottle at 7am,” Alicia captioned the post which included the aforementioned video as well as multiple photos of her bottle popping. Hell’s Kitchen got its start playing at the Public Theater last year, ending on January 14. It then transferred to the Shubert Theater on Broadway for previews beginning March 28, with an opening night on April 20. Upon the announcement of the Broadway debut, Alicia Keys said: “Good things take time and for 13 years, I’ve been dreaming, developing and finding inspiration for a musical based on my experience growing up in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC. She continued: “Hell’s Kitchen is inspired by my life, but it’s not a biographical story. It’s a story about family relationships and identity: Who are we? Who do we want to be? Who are we becoming? “The score features new songs that I’m really excited to get out into the world alongside many of my album releases that you know but you’ve never heard like this – rearranged and reinterpreted.” The show’s music and lyrics are by the award-winning singer, and the book is penned by Kristoffer Diaz.
