About Kimberly Akimbo
KIMBERLY AKIMBO, the winner of 5 Tony Awards® including BEST MUSICAL, is a fresh and heartfelt story about growing up and growing old – though not necessarily in that order. Featuring a Tony Award-winning book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire (Shrek), a Tony Award-winning score by Jeanine Tesori (Fun Home), choreography by Danny Mefford (Dear Evan Hansen), and direction by Tony-nominated Jessica Stone, this musical is a must-see.
Kimberly is about to turn 16 and has just moved with her family to a new town in suburban New Jersey. In this “howlingly funny heartbreaker” (The New Yorker), she must navigate her dysfunctional family, a rare genetic condition, her first crush, and even some potential felony charges. Through it all, Kim remains an optimist, determined to find happiness and adventure.
Recommended for ages 13 and up. Children under 5 are not permitted in the theater. Please note the show contains strong language, crude humor, references to alcohol use, and authentic New Jersey vernacular.
