Ali is a 17-year-old girl full of fire – searching for freedom, passion, and her place in the world. How she finds them is a New York City coming-of-age story you’ve never felt before – Hell’s Kitchen, a new musical from 16-time Grammy® Award winner Alicia Keys, whose new songs, and greatest hits about growing up in NY inspire a story made for Broadway. Rebellious and stifled by an overprotective single mother, Ali is lost until she meets her mentor: a neighbor who opens her heart and mind to the power of the piano. Set to the rhythm of the 90s, Hell’s Kitchen is a love story between a mother and daughter. It’s about finding yourself, your purpose, and the community that lifts you. Come remember where dreams begin. Hailed as a New York Times Critic’s Pick that is, “thrilling from beginning to end – a rare must-see!” Hell’s Kitchen is directed by four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif, with choreography by four-time Tony Award nominee Camille A. Brown, a book by Pulitzer Prize finalist Kristoffer Diaz, and the music of Alicia Keys.

Live at the Eccles presents the live theatrical concert premiere of Alex Boyé's The King of New York, a groundbreaking, hip-hop infused musical experience celebrating faith, history and untold pioneer stories on Saturday, August 22 at the Eccles Theater in on Main Street in downtown Salt Lake City. ArtTix is the only authorized ticketing source for the Eccles Theater.
When Alex Boyé’s face appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! as part of a conversation about full page ads featured in playbills for The Book of Mormon musical, Kimmel remarked “Are there black people in the Mormon Church? I find that hard to believe.” Boyé was perturbed for a moment, then realized, if Jimmy Kimmel believed this, then millions must also feel the same.
It sparked an idea. Boyé was inspired to tell a story that would shine a spotlight on the untold voices of Black pioneers whose faith and resilience helped shape the American West. Through emotionally charged performances and powerful music, the show explores themes of redemption, unity, courage, and the complicated intersections of race, religion and American constitutional themes.
Described as a bold fusion of hip-hop, rap, cinematic visuals, dance, theatrical storytelling, featuring the 'Dreamspire Orchestra', directed by Blake Sharette The King of New York explores the life, legacy, and polarizing influence of Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter-day Saint movement, through the eyes of five Black pioneers in the 1800s who journeyed west while wrestling with faith, freedom, race, and identity in America.
“This is more than a musical,” says Boyé. “It’s a musical conversation. It’s a celebration. It’s a reckoning. It’s about giving voice to stories that were often left out of history books and showing how faith, pain, hope, and humanity collide.”
Run time: TBA
Recommended for ages 8 and up. Infants not admitted. All patrons require a ticket regardless of age.
