Kimberly Akimbo Boston - Official

This is the official Broadway In Boston event page for the Boston engagement of Kimberly Akimbo playing at the Emerson Colonial Theatre May 6 - 18, 2025. Patrons interested in the Boston engagement of Kimberly Akimbo should be wary of fraudulent sources of information online and elsewhere.

A new musical about growing up and growing old (in no particular order), Kimberly Akimbo is the winner of 5 Tony Awards including Best Musical. It features Tony Award®-winning book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire (Shrek), a Tony Award®-winning score by Jeanine Tesori (Fun Home), choreography by Danny Mefford (Dear Evan Hansen) and direction by Tony®-nominated director Jessica Stone. Kimberly 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.
