Alicia Keys was in full celebration mode after learning that her Broadway musical “Hell’s Kitchen” had been nominated for 13 Tony Awards.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday (May 1), Swizz Beatz captured the moment his wife found out about the nomination and she was so excited that she drank a large bottle of champagne at 7am.
“13 Tony nominations worthy of opening a bottle at 7am,” Alicia wrote in the post, which included the video above and multiple photos of her opening bottles.
Check out the celebratory moment below.
“Hell’s Kitchen” premiered at the Public Theater last year and ended on January 14th.
Announcing the Broadway debut, Alicia Keys said, “Good things take time, and for 13 years I’ve been dreaming and writing a musical, finding inspiration in my experiences growing up in Hell’s Kitchen, New York.
She continued, “Hell’s Kitchen was inspired by my life, but it’s not a biographical story. It’s a story about family relationships and identity: who are we? Who do we want to be? Who are we becoming?
“This score contains new songs that I’m excited to bring to the world along with the many albums I’ve released, songs you know but have never heard – rearranged and reinterpreted.”
The show’s music and lyrics were composed by award-winning singers, and the book was written by Kristoffer Diaz.
In addition to the music, the art collection of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz will also become a giant coffee table book, released in conjunction with the Brooklyn Museum exhibition.
According to a press release shared with HipHopDX, the duo will release Giant: Art from the Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys Dean Collection this June from Phaidon Books.
The book also includes an interview with the long-married couple by Kimberli Gant, curator of modern and contemporary art at the Brooklyn Museum. It accompanies an exhibition at the museum, running from February 10 to July 7, showcasing Swizz and Alicia’s extensive art collection.
“Our strategy is to collect from the heart,” the couple said in a statement. “You know, a lot of people call us Black collectors. We are art collectors, and we happen to be Black. We collect artists from all over the world. The reason we double down on artists of color is because our own communities don’t There is no collection of these giants.
