HELL’S KITCHEN To End Run On Broadway

Today it was announced that Hell’s Kitchen will end its run on Broadway after nearly two years on Sunday, February 22, 2026. Original company member and Tony nominee Brandon Victor Dixon will return to the role of Davis beginning Tuesday, January 27, 2026 through the remainder of the run. 

The musical made its world premiere on October 24, 2023 down at The Public Theater before moving uptown to the Shubert Theatre where it celebrated its opening night on April 20, 2024. The show went on to be nominated for 13 Tony nominations, and took home two for Maleah Joi Moon and Kecia Lewis. 

Inspired by 17-time Grammy Award-winner Alicia Keys’ own experiences growing up in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood adjacent to the Broadway theatre district, Hell’s Kitchen centers a story, a sound and a community often underrepresented on the mainstream stage. Through the coming-of-age story of Ali, the musical celebrates the diversity of New York, the power of mentorship, the discovery of young talent and the power of community, with a cast and audiences reflective of the cultural makeup of the city it portrays.

The musical welcomed presidents, Supreme Court justices, cultural icons, decorated athletes and global superstars – and  raised over $1.5 million for charity in partnership – while at the same time, launched new stars, celebrated legendary artists and reshaped Broadway’s cultural landscape throughout its extraordinary run, as it continues to travel around the country in a multi-year national tour and will go on to launch international productions in South Korea, Germany and Australia.
