Opening Keys
Alicia Keys, who played the Garden last Wednesday, had a nice surprise for the Bronx high school kids from WHEDco (Women’s Housing and Economic Development) — who are shooting “Alicia Keys: The Chronicles,” a se ries for Fuse as part of its “Fuse Rocks the Classroom” program.
The students were inter viewing Keys, on camera, just before she took the stage, when she told them they were in for a big surprise. She was later joined by (the pre viously unannounced) Be yonce and Jay-Z. It’ll make a nice moment in the upcoming series.
