MAY 2023: Kimberly Akimbo: the Musical

The most Tony award-winning show of the season!

KIMBERLY AKIMBO features a book and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize winner DAVID LINDSAY-ABAIRE (Rabbit Hole), music by Tony Award winner JEANINE TESORI (Fun Home), choreography by DANNY MEFFORD (Dear Evan Hansen) and direction by award-winning director JESSICA STONE.

Kimberly (Tony Award winner VICTORIA CLARK) is about to turn 16 and recently moved with her family to a new town in suburban New Jersey. In this “howlingly funny heartbreaker of a show” (The New Yorker), Kim is forced to navigate family dysfunction, a rare genetic condition, her first crush…and possible felony charges. Ever the optimist, she is determined to find happiness against all odds and embark on a great adventure.
