FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A Tony Award-winning musical blending humor and heart is now playing at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, bringing a uniquely unconventional coming-of-age story to South Florida audiences.
Kimberly Akimbo, which won five Tony Awards including Best Musical in 2023, follows a teenage girl who ages at an accelerated rate. The role of Kimberly is portrayed by Broadway veteran Ann Morrison.
Morrison said the production resonates because of its mix of comedy and emotional depth.
“It’s hilariously funny, but it’s also filled with heart and a beautiful message about life is short, so just enjoy the ride,” Morrison said.
The musical centers on Kimberly’s challenges navigating family dysfunction, friendships and identity while living with a rare condition that causes her body to age rapidly. Despite the heavy premise, the show emphasizes optimism and resilience.
Kimberly Akimbo is scheduled to run at the Broward Center through April 12. Click here for more information on how to purchase tickets.
