From the groundbreaking minds of David Lindsay Abaire and Jeanine Tesori comes Kimberly Akimbo, a Broadway show that runs the gamut of emotions, from laughter and joy to sadness and hopefulness.

Kimberly is unlike any other Broadway character because she's a teenager with a body that ages four times as fast due to a genetic condition. Her grim diagnosis comes with a short life expectancy, of sadly as little as 16 years. Despite this undesirable prognosis, Kimberly remains driven and optimistic, even leading up to her 16th birthday. Her coming-of-age story encourages audiences to live fully and make the most of each day. Along for the ride are her parents, her outlaw aunt Debra, and a group of loyal friends. This Broadway show tells the hilarious story of family dysfunction and comical escapades with the added emotional layer of first crushes, mortality, and moving on.
