It's time to meet your new favourite musical! Kimberly Akimbo took Broadway by storm, won five Tony awards including Best Musical, and now it’s time for Melbourne audiences to be treated to this dose of pure joy.
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.
Starring Marina Prior, Casey Donovan and Christie Whelan Browne, this Australian premiere brims with infectious energy and tunes that soar by Jeanine Tesori, the brilliant mind behind the critically acclaimed Fun Home.
