Kimberly Akimbo

WINNER

BEST MUSICAL

THE MOST TONY AWARD-WINNING SHOW OF ITS SEASON

A new musical about growing up and growing old (in no particular order), KIMBERLY AKIMBO is the winner of 5 Tony Awards including BEST MUSICAL. It features 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 director Jessica Stone (Water for Elephants). 

Kimberly 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. 

“What’s an anagram for ‘WONDERFUL’? A powerful new musical – funny and moving.” –Jesse Green, The New York Times   

“A balance of youthful energy and serious stakes, KIMBERLY AKIMBO leaves you floating high on good vibes and ready to make the most of life.” –Christian Holub, Entertainment Weekly
