Kimberly Akimbo at Academy of Music

Right out of the genius minds of David Lindsay Abaire and Jeanine Tesori comes Kimberly Akimbo, a Broadway show that expresses the full range of emotions, from laughter and joy to sadness and hopefulness. Audiences who attend the upcoming production at Academy Of Music on Thursday 23rd October 2025 will spend the 2-hour and 25-minute runtime in Kimberly Levaco's world. Tickets start at just $73 for this Thursday showing and remaining seating is limited.

Kimberly is unlike any other Broadway protagonist because she's a teenager that ages far quicker than normal due to a genetic condition. Her unfavorable diagnosis comes with a average life expectancy, of sadly as little as 16 years. Despite this undesirable prognosis, Kimberly remains determined and optimistic, even leading up to her 16th birthday. Her coming-of-age story encourages audiences to live fully and with no regrets. Joining Kimberly on her adventure are her parents, her outlaw aunt Debra, and a group of supportive friends. This Broadway show explores the hilarious story of family dysfunction and comical escapades with the added emotional layer of first crushes, mortality, and so much more. 

You may already have heard of this story 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 developing into a musical, Kimberly Akimbo has seen great success with positive reviews from theater-goers. The Off-Broadway production snagged wins at the Drama Desk Awards, Outer Critics Circle Awards, and New York Drama Critics' Circle, while the Broadway show cleaned up at the 2023 Tony Awards. The founding Broadway Cast also earned a Grammy nomination for the show's versatile soundtrack.
