Kimberly Akimbo at Majestic Theatre

How deep can you dig to find happiness, in the cruel and unfair game called Life? The story of Kimberly Akimbo, might just be all about that, and more. Written at the start of the millennium by the award-winning David Lindsay-Abaire, Kimberly Akimbo is a show that tells the classic story of Time, Identity, and Resilience.

Kim is a intellegent, humerious, and couragious Jersey Girl, with a condition similar to Progeria, A disorder that made her look like a 72-year-old lady, making her physical age four and a half times older than she is. Directed by Jessica Stone, the cast starred Victoria Clark as Kimberly, with Justin Cooley, Alli Mauzey, and more. The musical has won several highly regarded awards including 5 Tony Awards!

The 2 hours and 20 minutes musical, which premiered on Broadway in 2022, is about the quest of a typical teen, with an a rare condition, going through ordinary high school experiences. Such as her first love, dynamic family, and identity crises. Presented by the prestigious Majestic Theatre, the performance is showing up in San Antonio, on Wednesday 24th September 2025. The performance combines the two polarities of a teenager, one struggling with unfair aging issues, and the other as a normal teenager going through her phases.

The musical has the ability to strike a chord on the audience by fusing self reflection, and judgement, regarding one’s life point of view and the strength to challenge suffering. While packing so many life lessons behind the curtain, the show can also be unbearably funny, and dark humored. Kimberly uses her humor to cope with life and much of the emotional burden that was unfairly placed on her shoulders.

Kimberly’s most intimate relationship is with her friend Jeff, a sophomore in high school, a wordsmith, and socially awkward yet seems to confide well with Kimberly, mostly because of their innocent and emotional complexity. Besides her healthy relationship with Jeff, one can hardly say more, her mother “Pattie”, is an anxious, frequently remote and emotionally unavailable often seeming to be caught up with her emotions. “Buddy” Kimberly’s father is an liquor entusiaist who usually fails to demonstrate a good father figure, and then there is “Aunt Debra” self centered con-artist, who’s entire interest was pulling successful schemes at any cost.

Don’t undermine the show by the coloring, and braces, Kimberly Akimbo can take you on an emotional rollercoaster, of inspiration, empathy, frustration, compassion, and hope, all at once. This masterpiece will join the gathering in the fabulous San Antonio, on Wednesday 24th September 2025, at the splendid Majestic Theatre.
