Kimberly Akimbo

Kimberly Akimbo receives its European premiere at Hampstead Theatre in a new production directed by Michael Longhurst. David Lindsay-Abaire and Jeanine Tesori’s Tony Award-winning musical follows Kimberly Levaco, a nearly 16-year-old whose rare genetic condition makes her appear much older than her classmates. While navigating first love, family dysfunction and an ex-con aunt’s improbable scheme, Kimberly races to make the most of the time she has. Maria Friedman leads the London cast in this funny, offbeat and moving coming-of-age story.
