Kimberly Akimbo (GER)

The Tony®-Winning Best Musical about growing up and growing old (in no particular order), KIMBERLY AKIMBO is the winner of five 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.

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.
