Hell’s Kitchen

Fresh off its win at the 2025 Grammy Awards for Best Musical Theater Album, it’s the perfect time to see Hell’s Kitchen, the semi-autobiographical jukebox musical from Alicia Keys. Based loosely on the singer-songwriter’s life growing up in New York City’s eponymous Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, the musical features some of Keys’ greatest hits including “Empire State of Mind,” “If I Ain’t Got You,” “No One” and more.

Redwood

Redwood marks Broadway legend Idina Menzel’s return to the stage in a wholly original, deeply rooted musical, which she conceived of with Tony-winning director Tina Landau. With music by rising composer Kate Diaz, the show is set in the redwood forest of northern California, where Menzel’s character goes on an immersive, healing journey that will transform her life forever.

Sure to delight fans of Menzel’s turn as the original Elphaba in Wicked, the Tony-winning actress promised in an exclusive interview with Ticketmaster: “I’m not sure why it happened, but I’m definitely drawn to characters who get to fly in some sense of the word.”

Maybe Happy Ending

With its roots in South Korea, Maybe Happy Ending is a new musical that imagines battery-charged life for Oliver and Claire, two helper robots whose human owners have discarded in late 21st century Seoul. The pair of humanoids develop an unexpected connection that goes against all their programming — but can they discover love before they’re rendered technologically obsolete?

In December, Maybe Happy Ending understudy Hannah Kevitt told Ticketmaster in an exclusive interview, “If I was a little Asian girl in the audience of Maybe Happy Ending, Claire would be my dream role — and to get to work on your dream role on Broadway is such an immense gift and privilege and I’m honored to standby for Claire for all the little Asian girls out there.”
