Alicia Keys Archives - Utah Concert Review

Hell’s Kitchen • June 7, 2026 • Eccles Theater

Reviewed by Kevin Rolfe

Hell’s Kitchen is a jukebox musical based on the songs of the great Alicia Keys. The story is a semi-autobiographical tale about Keys’ life growing up in the New York City neighborhood. The musical had a successful two-year run on Broadway, just closing in February of this year. It’s pretty exciting to see a show so fresh from Broadway. I make it a point to do my best to avoid seeing or hearing too much before I see a show. As an Alicia Keys fan, this was not easy. I knew I would know the songs, but I didn’t want to know where they fit in the story or what the arrangements would be like within the production. I’m glad I waited. I really enjoyed what I saw with fresh eyes on opening night in Salt Lake City at the beautiful Eccles Theater.
