Alicia Keys to Perform Postshow at Hell's Kitchen

Think she's testing out going into the show before a January closing? 

She might join the show in the Winter months. Even just doing 6 shows/week.

I hear that Patti LuPone is coming in to play the mom.

 

InTheBathroom1 said: "Is there a role for her to play in Hell’s Kitchen? Jersey is supposed to be white and they mention it multiple times in the show."

Too old for Ali and not right for Jersey. She’s not going to be one of the friends at Manhattan Plaza. 

Only option that could potentially work is Miss Liza Jane, but I haven’t heard of Kecia Lewis leaving anytime soon. Would be touching though if Keys stepped into that part with Aziza Miller (the real Liza Jane) still playing in the orchestra.

I just don’t see it happening. Grosses have dropped, Keys isn’t a name that people are dropping big bucks on these days, and she certainly would be getting paid more than Lewis which would hurt their bottom line. I think it’s more realistic that she does a couple more post-show appearances to keep things afloat but not actually stepping into the show.
