It has been several months since Alicia Keys' highly-anticipated musical, "Hell's Kitchen," made its world premiere, and now it seems like it could be a major contender at the 2024 Tony Awards. The full list of nominees was recently revealed on April 29, and according to Deadline, "Hell's Kitchen" is tied with David Adjmi's "Stereophonic" for the most nominations at 13 each. This puts them both in the lead for the most nominations, and "Hell's Kitchen" could potentially take home the biggest award of the night for Best Musical.
One of the stars of the show, Maleah Joi Moon, received a nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical for her portrayal of Ali. Brandon Victor Dixon, who plays Davis in the musical, also received a nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role. Additionally, Shoshana Bean, who takes on the role of Jersey, is nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical.
But the accolades don't stop there for "Hell's Kitchen." The musical has also been nominated for Best Orchestrations, Best Choreography, Best Direction, Best Sound Design, Best Lighting Design, Best Costume Design, Best Scenic Design, and Best Book. It's safe to say that Keys and her team are feeling ecstatic about their 13 nominations.
In fact, Keys shared her excitement on Instagram with a video of her husband, Swizz Beatz, and their two sons congratulating her on the nominations. The video, filmed in their Los Angeles home, captured the moment when Keys found out the big news. It's clear to see that she was overwhelmed with joy, and her sons couldn't be prouder of their mom's accomplishments.
In the video, Keys can be heard saying, "Oh my gosh guys. We just found out that 'Hell's Kitchen' was nominated for 13 Tonys! Oh my God!!!!" Her youngest son, Genesis, even comments on how she almost has more Tony nominations than her Grammy awards. And her eldest son, Egypt, predicts that she will win all 13 nominations. Keys ends the video by exclaiming her desire to pop a bottle at 7 am in celebration of the momentous occasion.
The 77th Tony Awards will take place on June 16 at Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater in New York City, with Ariana DeBose returning as the host for the third time in a row. And it's clear that Keys and her team will be eagerly awaiting the results, hoping to add to their already impressive list of nominations.
In other news, Keys recently announced her "Hell's Kitchen" Broadway show fellowship, which aims to bring more diversity and representation to the theater workforce. It's clear that Keys is not only a talented artist but also a passionate advocate for change and inclusivity in the entertainment industry. We can't wait to see what she and her team have in store for "Hell's Kitchen" and the future of Broadway.
