Alicia Keys’ Hell’s Kitchen on Broadway brings 90s New York energy, powerful vocals, and reimagined versions of her biggest songs to the stage.

In this full Nerdy Broadway Review (EP 101), I break down:

• Maya Drake’s Broadway debut as Ali

• Kennedy Caughell’s standout vocals as Jersey

• Desmond Sean Ellington’s falsetto on “Fallen”

• Rearranged Alicia Keys classics

• 1990s NYC aesthetic, choreography, and staging
