Kimberly Akimbo at Knight Theatre

Right out of the groundbreaking minds of David Lindsay Abaire and Jeanine Tesori comes Kimberly Akimbo, a Broadway show that takes audiences through many different emotions, from laughter and joy to sorrow and hopefulness. Audiences who attend the upcoming performance at Knight Theatre at Levine Center for the Arts on Saturday 19th April 2025 will spend the 2-hour and 25-minute runtime in Kimberly Levaco's world. Tickets can be found from $82 for this Saturday showing and remember there's limited seating.

Kimberly is quite different from any other Broadway protagonist because she's a teenager with a body that ages far quicker than normal due to a genetic condition. Her grim diagnosis comes with a average life expectancy of about 16 years. Despite this undesirable future, Kimberly remains motivated and optimistic, even leading up to her milestone birthday. Her coming-of-age story inspires audiences to live fully and with no regrets. Joining Kimberly on her adventure are her parents, her criminal aunt Debra, and a group of supportive friends. This Broadway show tells the hilarious story of family dysfunction and hijinks with the added emotional layer of first crushes, mortality, and moving on. 

If this story sounds familiar, it's because performers have already played it out on stage. David Lindsay-Abaire first brought Kimberly Akimbo to the stage over a decade ago in 2001 with performances running at the South Coast Repertory, Manhattan Theatre Club, and A Red Orchid Theatre. Celebrated actors have been a part of both the play and musical adaptations, including Ana Gasteyer, Ann Dowd, John Gallagher Jr., and Victoria Clark. 

Since evolving into a musical, Kimberly Akimbo has seen great success with acclaim from theater-goers. The Off-Broadway production earned wins at the Drama Desk Awards, Outer Critics Circle Awards, and New York Drama Critics' Circle, while the Broadway show was a five-time winner at the 2023 Tony Awards. The Original Broadway Cast also earned a Grammy nomination for the show's stellar soundtrack.
