Musical

This haunting and hilarious dark comedy by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire introduces us to Kimberly Levaco, a sixteen-year old girl whose problems go far beyond what others her age might ever experience – a story of how she copes with a very out-of-the-ordinary physical disorder, while having to deal with some very out-of-the-ordinary family dysfunction – and somehow finding a place in the world at large, that she longs to savor. This shrewd satire, by turns outrageous and farcical, takes the theatergoer on a powerfully emotional journey and decidedly challenges one’s sense of the limits of reality and fantasy.
