“I want an adventure while I still can! And it’s gonna be scary and fun and really stupid”

Don’t miss the ‘astonishing’ (WhatsOnStage) UK premiere of five-time Tony Award-winning musical Kimberly Akimbo, starring the ‘superb’ (Financial Times) Maria Friedman!

Kimberly Levaco is excited to celebrate her upcoming sweet 16 – never mind the fact she looks 74, due to a rare genetic condition prematurely ageing her about four times faster than her friends. Whilst her heart may be biologically ahead of its time, it’s starting to beat a little quicker after meeting Seth at the ice rink…

Kim doesn’t have long to explore the world beyond New Jersey, she just needs to find the cash to do it. When her ex-con aunt shows up with a get-rich-quick scam, Kim’s all in – illegal or not. Can she pull off the heist, find first love and have the great adventures she’s been dreaming of?

David Lindsay-Abaire (Good People) and Jeanine Tesori‘s (Caroline, or Change) profoundly funny and heartwarming musical was the winner of five 2023 Tony Awards including Best Musical. This much-anticipated new production by Michael Longhurst (Next to Normal) stars one of the most acclaimed performers in musical theatre, Maria Friedman, as Kimberly. She is a four-time Olivier Award winner, with nine nominations and a Tony nomination.
