Kimberly Akimbo at Providence Performing Arts Center

From the groundbreaking minds of David Lindsay Abaire and Jeanine Tesori comes Kimberly Akimbo, a Broadway show that takes audiences through many different emotions, from laughter and joy to sadness and hopefulness. Audiences who attend the upcoming show at Providence Performing Arts Center on Tuesday 5th May 2026 will spend the 2h20m runtime in Kimberly Levaco's world. Tickets start at just $82 for this Tuesday showing and remaining seating is limited.

Kimberly is quite different from any other Broadway character because she's a teenager that ages four times as fast due to a genetic condition. Her grim diagnosis comes with a short life expectancy, of sadly as little as 16 years. Despite this poor future, Kimberly remains driven and optimistic in the days leading up to her 16th birthday. Her coming-of-age story inspires audiences to live fully and seize every opportunity. Joining Kimberly on her journey are her parents, her outlaw aunt Debra, and a group of supportive friends. This Broadway show captures the hilarious story of family dysfunction and hijinks with the added emotional layer of first crushes, mortality, and moving on. 

You may already have heard of this story because performers have already played it out on stage. David Lindsay-Abaire first brought Kimberly Akimbo to the stage over a decade ago in 2001 with performances running at numerous theatres across the country. Celebrated actors have performed both the play and musical adaptations, including Ana Gasteyer, Ann Dowd, John Gallagher Jr., and Victoria Clark. 

Since adapting into a musical, Kimberly Akimbo has seen widespread success with acclaim from theater-goers. The Off-Broadway production picked up wins at the Drama Desk Awards, Outer Critics Circle Awards, and New York Drama Critics' Circle, while the Broadway show was a five-time winner at the 2023 Tony Awards. The Original Broadway Cast rightfully earned several Grammy nomination for the show's stellar soundtrack.
