THE MOST TONY AWARD-WINNING SHOW OF THE SEASON

Kimberly (Tony Award winner VICTORIA CLARK) is about to turn 16 and recently moved with her family to a new town in suburban New Jersey. In this “howlingly funny heartbreaker of a show” (The New Yorker), Kim is forced to navigate family dysfunction, a rare genetic condition, her first crush…and possible felony charges. Ever the optimist, she is determined to find happiness against all odds and embark on a great adventure.

So clever, funny and touching, you might want to give everyone on stage a hug. It’s happy-sad heaven. DO NOT MISS IT.” The Hollywood Reporter “BEST THEATER OF THE YEAR. A DOSE OF PURE JOY. Profoundly funny and heartbreaking. The season’s most moving new musical.” The New York Times [Critic's Pick] “THE BEST NEW MUSICAL OF THE YEAR — BY FAR. A wondrous new musical, breathtakingly lovely and riotously funny — as full-hearted as any musical to be seen in recent years.” The Wall Street Journal “A HOWLINGLY FUNNY HEARTBREAKER OF A SHOW.” The New Yorker “IT FEELS LIKE A MIRACLE. I LOVED IT FROM THE FIRST NOTE TO THE LAST. It’s one of those perfect inventions that convinces you that the world isn’t so terrible after all. Hilarious and heartbreaking, it’s the kind of entertainment — wise, original, moving — that stamps musical theater as one of the best things ever made in America.” The Washington Post Kimberly Akimbo
