So Kimberly Akimbo - Is it me or does this sound like a female version of BENJAMIN BUTTONS - This show won the TONY AWARD for best musical in 2023, along with 4 other TONY AWARDS.
\> The prospect of dying by age 16 hardly seems like obvious fodder for musical comedy\. But “[Kimberly Akimbo](https://variety.com/t/kimberly-akimbo/),” [transferring to Broadway](https://variety.com/2022/legit/news/kimberly-akimbo-broadway-musical-david-lindsay-abaire-jeanine-tesori-1235400452/) after an acclaimed run at the Atlantic Theater Company, is the sort of refreshingly unexpected musical that makes an exhilarating case for the vibrancy and potential of the form. It asks big questions about family and mortality. It’s unabashedly heartfelt and irresistibly funny. Like life, it’s inherently sad and a little absurd, and like its subject, “Kimberly Akimbo” is exceedingly rare and almost impossible not to love.
\> The trials of being a teenager can feel like matters of life and death\, but Kimberly Levaco is actually running out of time — and her feelings about it have nothing to do with hormones\. A genetic disorder that accelerates her aging process means she’s going on 16\, but with the body of someone four times older\. Despite Kimberly’s imminent end\, or perhaps because of it\, there is a self\-consciously jovial and youthful tone to the material\, based on the 2000 play by [David Lindsay-Abaire](https://variety.com/t/david-lindsay-abaire/), who wrote the book and lyrics, and with music by [Jeanine Tesori](https://variety.com/t/jeanine-tesori/). It’s a bit like an amusement park ride: Half the fun is knowing your heart is about to get drop-kicked.
