Kimberly is different to any other Broadway character 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 sadly as little as 16 years. Despite this undesirable outlook, Kimberly remains driven and optimistic in the days leading up to her 16th birthday. Her coming-of-age story inspires audiences to live fully and make the most of each day. Along for the ride are her parents, her outlaw aunt Debra, and a group of supportive friends.
