If you like your theater hot, your choreography sizzling, and your plot seasoned with just enough emotional spice to make your eyes water, then pull up a chair, because this girl, and the touring production of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Hell’s Kitchen, is on fire! Inspired by Alicia Keys’ life growing up in the hustle and bustle of New York City, this musical isn’t just a show; it’s a spectacle that blends music that so many of us know with a story that will bring audiences to tears. Hell's Kitchen story and characters feel real, so you're easily transported back to a time when you swore you were misunderstood… and probably were.

In this episode of the BSB podcast, hosts Brian Kitson and RJ Miller-Zelinko break down all the narrative threads woven throughout this kaleidoscope-like tapestry of Hell's Kitchen. From young love to racial disparity to the struggle between protective parents and rebellious children, to perhaps the most poignant: legacy and the passing of the torch, there are so many rich stories this musical explores. Which of the storylines resonated the most with both of the hosts? What characters stood out to them as the most relatable or vibrant amongst all the rest? Listen in to this exciting episode to discover these answers and more!
