Video: New Jersey Students Perform 'Better' At KIMBERLY AKIMBO's Final Show Choir Night On Broadway

As BroadwayWorld reported last spring, the Tony-winning production of Kimberly Akimbo has been hosting New York City public high school show choirs as they make their Broadway debuts on stage at the Booth Theater. The final choir from High Tech High School took the stage for an amazing rendition of 'Better' and you can watch their performance below!

"We so appreciate the producers helping to make the show accessible for NYC public school students," said Peter Avery, Director of Theater for New York City Public Schools. "It is even more inspiring for them to invite some of our young artists to perform on the very stage where the Kimberly Akimbo Broadway cast performs nightly."
