KIMBERLY AKIMBO

Set in the wilds of suburban New Jersey, KIMBERLY AKIMBO is an hilarious and heartrending play about a teenager with a rare condition causing her body to age four times faster than it should. When she and her family flee their hometown under dubious circumstances, Kimberly is forced to reevaluate her life while contending with a hypochondriac mother, a rarely sober father, a scam-artist aunt, her own mortality and, most terrifying of all, the possibility of first love.
This is the play written in 2001 from which the 2022 musical was adapted.

“A wacky, touching and totally charming dark comedy that gives a whole new meaning to 'coming of age story.'” —New York Daily News.

“A breezy, foulmouthed, fleet-footed, warmhearted comedy. There have been many dark comedies about dysfunctional families, but this is one of the funniest.” —Los Angeles Times.
