Alicia Keys was cute in curls at a meet and greet for Stick Fly in New York City earlier today. The Grammy-winning singer, who produced and composed music for the Broadway play, joined the cast while mingling with ticket buyers and signing autographs at Cort Theatre.

“It’s about the human experience, so it doesn’t matter how you look, where you’re from, where you grew up,” explained Alicia of the family-oriented production. “Life is hilarious, life is serious, life is outrageous, and that’s what this play is.”

Stick Fly opens December 8 on Broadway, with limited previews beginning this Friday.
