The critically acclaimed and wildly popular new musical Kimberly Akimbo will transfer to Broadway, with previews beginning on 12 October at a Shubert Theater to be announced. 

The new musical has a book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire and music by Jeanine Tesori, based on the critically-acclaimed play of the same name. It is choreographed by Danny Mefford and directed by Jessica Stone. 

Kimberly Akimbo had its world premiere at the Atlantic Theater Company, where it opened to rave reviews last Autumn.

The Broadway company of Kimberly Akimbo will feature the company from the Atlantic Theater world premiere production: Tony Award-winner Victoria Clark (The Light in the Piazza, Gigi) as Kimberly, Justin Cooley (Broadway debut), Tony Award nominee Steven Boyer (Hand to God, Time and the Conways), Alli Mauzey (Cry Baby, Wicked), Bonnie Milligan (Head Over Heels), Olivia Elease Hardy (Broadway debut), Fernell Hogan (The Prom, Mean Girls US Tour), Michael Iskander (Broadway debut), and Nina White (Broadway debut). 

Kim is a bright and funny Jersey teen, who happens to look like a 72-year-old lady. And yet her aging disease may be the least of her problems. Forced to maneuver family secrets, borderline personalities, and possible felony charges, Kim is determined to find happiness in a world where not even time is on her side.
