Coming to Nashville
Kimberly Akimbo
Kimberly is about to turn 16 and recently moved with her family to a new town in suburban New Jersey. Kim is forced to navigate family dysfunction, a rare genetic condition that rapidly accelerates the aging process, her first crush…and possible felony charges. The 2023 Tony-winner for best musical, based on David Lindsay-Abaire’s play, unfolds like a dark fairy tale, as whimsical as it is piercing. Yet the effect is powerfully life-affirming in the way it reminds audiences of the preciousness of the time we have at hand. Full of quirky humor and social satire on grownup immaturity, the musical features a score by Jeanine Tesori and David Lindsay-Abaire that will leave you both grinning and deeply touched.
At TPAC’s Jackson Hall April 8-13. For tickets and more information, see Kimberly Akimbo | Tennessee Performing Arts Center, and for more information on the national tour, see Kimberly Akimbo.
