ABOUT THE SHOW

The new girl in town is making heads spin. You’ve got to move fast when you’re 16 going on 70.

Kimberly Akimbo is the musical that took Broadway by storm. It won countless hearts and raked in five Tony awards including Best Musical, with music by Jeanine Tesori, the brilliant mind behind the critically acclaimed Fun Home. This Australian premiere directed by four-time Helpmann Award-winner Mitchell Butel and starring Marina Prior, Casey Donovan and Christie Whelan Browne brims with infectious energy and tunes that soar.

New Jersey, 1999: from a sea of teen angst, unrequited crushes and popularity contests bursts Kimberly, a musical heroine like no other. Equal parts teen comedy, heist caper and unlikely love story, her rollercoaster journey shows that the tempo of your own song is yours to set. Born with a genetic rarity that means she ages at four times the rate of everyone else, Kimberly is a teen in mid-life form and living on borrowed time. She can cope with her dropkick dad and narcissistic mum – can’t spell ‘dysfunction’ without ‘fun’, right? But when her criminal aunt Debra shows up with a get-rich-quick scheme too good to be legal, Kimberly decides you’re only young once.
