Kimberly Akimbo at Providence Performing Arts Center

Right out of the creative 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 sorrow and hopefulness. Audiences who attend the upcoming performance at Providence Performing Arts Center on Thursday 7th May 2026 will spend the 2h20m runtime in Kimberly Levaco's shoes. Tickets start at just $81 for this Thursday showing and remaining seating is limited.

Kimberly is quite different from any other Broadway character because she's a teenager with a body that ages four times as fast due to a genetic condition. Her grim diagnosis comes with a average life expectancy, of sadly as little as 16 years. Despite this poor future, Kimberly remains motivated and optimistic, even leading up to her 16th birthday. Her coming-of-age story inspires audiences to live fully and with no regrets. Along for the ride are her parents, her outlaw aunt Debra, and a group of supportive friends. This Broadway show captures the hilarious story of family dysfunction and comical escapades 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. acclaimed actors have been a part of both the play and musical adaptations, including Ana Gasteyer, Ann Dowd, and Victoria Clark.
