Kimberly Akimbo in Detroit: Show Details

Having recently moved to a new town in suburban New Jersey, Kimberly is about to turn 16 in this “howlingly funny heartbreaker of a show” (The New Yorker). Forced to navigate family dysfunction, a rare genetic condition, her first crush, and … possible felony charges, Kimberly remains ever the optimist as she searches for happiness against all odds.

Named Best Musical by the Tony Awards, New York Drama Critics Circle, The Drama Desk Awards, The Lucille Lortel Awards, and The Outer Critics Circle Awards, Kimberly Akimbo is also the winner of four additional Tony Awards: Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical, Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical, Best Score, and Best Book. With her win for Kimberly Akimbo, Jeanine Tesori made history as the first female composer to win two Tony Awards for Best Score.

Kimberly Akimbo opened on Broadway to unanimous rave reviews on November 10, 2022, following its world premiere at the Atlantic Theater Company. Upon closing on Broadway, Kimberly Akimbo played 32 previews and 612 performances.
