Hey guys,

here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

My thanks is always for my

my money, my money one of the most talented people

currently striding the earth. She is

Alicia Keys. 16 Grammys to her name the When she was 20 years old the song is fallen you know it you love it the album is songs in a minor it went to number one

She won five grammies and the rest has been history since then

She's got a musical out now on Broadway. It's called Hell's Kitchen was a big hit off

Broadway at the public theater in New York and now is graduated and moving up to the

Schubert Theater New York. Alicia is not in the show.

You don't go to the show and see her on stage,

but the show is loosely based on her life.

She says it's not autobiographical,

but certainly inspired by it. She grew up herself in Hell's Kitchen.

She grew up with a single mother. She learned how to love music while growing up in her

building in Hell's Kitchen. And so the character, Ali, the lead in this show, has a lot of that in her life too, but some different things too. So many parallels with music at the center of it. It's not a big sing-along to Alicia Key's music show, but Alicia Key's music is in

the show. She rearranged all of her hit songs so that they would fit into the show seamlessly

with the dialogue, so they do come in and the

crowd screams I can tell you I went to a show the minute they recognize some of those

notes so it is a beautiful show it it's incredibly well acted. The singers are unbelievable, choreographers,

great. So I think people are going to love to see Hell's Kitchen. So, Alicia and I got together the other day. We're sitting just to kind of get your head in the right place,

on stage at the Schubert Theater, where this show is being performed Hell's Kitchen.
