This hilarious and heartfelt new musical follows 16-year-old Kim as she faces family chaos, a rare genetic condition, first crushes, and more.

WINNER – BEST MUSICAL
THE MOST TONY AWARD-WINNING MUSICAL OF THE SEASON!

A new musical about growing up and growing old (in no particular order), Kimberly Akimbo is the winner of 5 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 Award-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. 

You don’t want to miss this unforgettable show! April 15 – 27 at Knight Theater.
