“Kimberly Akimbo” premiered Off-Broadway at Atlantic Theater Company before transferring to Broadway in 2022. The show earned five Tony Awards in 2023, including Best Musical. Victoria Clark won her second Tony for her performance in the title role, and director Jessica Stone received a nomination. Stone has returned to direct the touring production.
The musical is based on David Lindsay-Abaire’s 2000 play of the same name. Lindsay-Abaire wrote the book and lyrics, with music composed by Jeanine Tesori. The story follows Kimberly Levaco, a New Jersey teenager with a rare condition that causes her to age at four times the normal rate.
