- Book Synopsis
- Kimberly Levaco is about to turn sixteen and has recently moved with her family to a new town in suburban New Jersey. Suffering from a disease that causes her to age four and a half times faster than her high school peers, surrounded by a dysfunctional family (and possible felony charges), Kimberly is also navigating her first teenage crush. Ever the optimist, she is determined to find happiness against all odds and embark on a great adventure. Kimberly Akimbo is a Tony Award-winning musical with music by Jeanine Tesori, and lyrics and book by David Lindsay-Abaire. It was first produced Off-Broadway in 2021, before premiering on Broadway at the Booth Theatre in November 2022, winning five Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score. The musical was based on Lindsay-Abaire's 2001 comedy of the same name.
