The Midwest is not used to divas, it seems.<\/p>\n
Alicia Keys\u2019 temporary stay in Cleveland is leaving locals at a luxury apartment building a bit miffed, sources tell Page Six.<\/p>\n
The singer has set up digs in a penthouse in the Ohio city while she launches the touring production of her Broadway hit \u201cHell\u2019s Kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n
And we hear residents are furious at management for shutting down eleveators whenever she enters and exits the building. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like she\u2019s Queen Elizabeth. The [neighborging] streets were even shut down one night,\u201d a source told Page Six.<\/p>\n

Keys is said to be staying in the fancy buiilding, which counts the city\u2019s mayor Justin Bibb as one of its tenants, for two weeks. <\/p>\n
Despite a few grumpy townies, not all Clevelanders are sour on Keys \u2013 especially the theater crowd. <\/p>\n
We hear some local fanatics were so excited about her visit to the Buckeye State that they even tried to crash a kick off party with the cast over the wekeend. (They didn\u2019t get in).<\/p>\n

Still, the native New Yorker\u2019s \u201cHell\u2019s Kitchen\u201d is being felt throughout the town, cast party or not. <\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Karl Michael Igelesias, community engagement fellow for Kaleidoscope Dreams Foundation, an org that \u201ccollaborates with local communities to create arts programs,\u201d hosted a 90\u2019s-themed block party to celebrate the Tony Award-winning musical.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of Cleveland come through,\u201d he said in a social media post promoting the free event in Playhouse Square Plaza. <\/p>\n
DJ Steph Floss provided tunes while Momma\u2019s Deli served food. \u201cNYC flavor is hitting The Land,\u201d the video caption read.<\/p>\n

And what screams NYC flavor louder than a block party and Alicia Keys. It\u2019s unclear if she showed up, but she definitely brought her artsy Five Boroughs vibe to \u201cThe Land!\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Midwest is not used to divas, it seems.
