To fête the occasion, Keys – born and raised in Hell’s Kitchen – is releasing Deluxe and Collector’s editions of the album on J Records, replete with previously-unreleased goodies and extras such as a documentary featuring new interviews with the artist and collaborators about the making of the album. 

Best part: Keys is capping off the whole shebang with two very intimate concerts—just her and her piano—in New York and London. (That sound you hear is other cities weeping with jealousy.)

“Piano & I: A One Night Only Event With Alicia Keys” goes down at the Beacon Theatre on June 30, and is being billed as “a night of songs and storytelling” where she’ll take audiences through the entire album live, plus plenty of hits hits that followed. No word as yet on an opener. 

The only on-sale for tickets to this event—which start at a reasonable $29.50—is today, Friday, May 6 at 12PM via Ticketmaster.

Piano & I: A One Night Only Event With Alicia Keys, Thursday, June 30 2011 at 8:30 p.m. at the Beacon Theater. Tickets: $29.50 to $150, available at Ticketmaster.com.
