Maleah Joi Moon won the Tony Award for best leading actress in a musical on Sunday night for her Broadway debut in “Hell’s Kitchen,” a fictionalized remix of Alicia Keys’s childhood. Moon recently spoke with The New York Times about earning a Tony nomination for her first professional role, a 17-year-old girl who discovered a gift for piano while chafing under her mother’s vigilance. “It’s surreal and it’s ridiculous and crazy and insane and all the things,” said Moon, 21. “But my inner child — the one that wanted to be Nala on Broadway — is like, this is aligned. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t meant.”The other nominees in the best leading actress category were Eden Espinosa (“Lempicka”), Maryann Plunkett (“The Notebook”), Kelli O’Hara (“Days of Wine and Roses”) and Gayle Rankin (“Cabaret”).

Chris Lee and Maleah Joi Moon Photo: Joan MarcusNew York‘This girl is on fire,” sings the ensemble in a jubilant high point of “Hell’s Kitchen,” a new musical drawing on the catalog of the R&B singer-songwriter Alicia Keys . The song celebrates a turning point in the life of the heroine, a 17-year-old based on the younger Ms. Keys. But the lyrics might equally apply to Maleah Joi Moon , whose incandescent performance in the central role of Ali, as the Keys character is called, provides the show with a blazing heart—and a voice with its own thrilling firepower, virtually an equal of Ms. Keys’s own superlative instrument.
