Kimberly is quite different from any other Broadway character because she's a teenager that ages far quicker than normal due to a genetic condition. Her unfavorable diagnosis comes with a short life expectancy, of sadly as little as 16 years. Despite this poor prognosis, Kimberly remains driven and optimistic in the days leading up to her milestone birthday. Her coming-of-age story inspires audiences to live fully and seize every opportunity. Along for the ride are her parents, her criminal 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 aspect of first crushes, mortality, and moving on.
