Life is short. Enjoy the ride.

The 2023 Tony® Award winner for Best Musical, Kimberly Akimbo is a “howlingly funny heartbreaker” (The New Yorker) with a Tony Award-winning book by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole) and a Tony Award-winning score by Jeanine Tesori (Fun Home; Caroline, or Change; Shrek, The Musical).

The legendary Louise Pitre — who originated the role of Fantine in the Canadian premiere of Les Misérables, Donna in the North American and Broadway premieres of MAMMA MIA!, and Edith Piaf in Piaf/Dietrich — stars in this deeply moving and wildly funny musical about a teenager with a rare condition as she navigates family dysfunction, first love, and potential felony charges. Ever the optimist, she is determined to find happiness against all odds and embark on a great adventure.

Book and Lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire
