Just saw on Sweaty Oracle's account on tiktok that there is a new Alicia Keys musical being developed at the Public Theater right now starring Eden Espinosa called "Hell's Kitchen"? Anyone know anything about this?
This is happening. A 4 week developmental lab started this week, Michael Greif is directing with choreography by Camille A Brown, Alicia Keys is doing the music and lyrics and Kristoffer Diaz, who wrote the book for Hercules at The Public, is writing the book. It’s a coming of age story about a young woman in Hell’s Kitchen in the 90’s named Ali — which highly suggests this piece is at least semi autobiographical if not fully.
