Award winning New York Theatre performer/ writer and self proclaimed "semi-star" Tim Realbuto has decided to end his critically acclaimed (not-so-solo) solo show Wunderkind in Orlando, Florida on Saturday, December 27th at 8:00 PM. A former child star of stage and screen and now adult co-writer of the popular Broadway-bound musical Ghostlight, Realbuto has toured Wunderkind all throughout New York City this past year, selling out every venue, including The Public Theatre.

Wunderkind tells the true story of Tim's interesting life growing up in show business, his major successes, his even bigger failures, and how to handle things when life happens. Deeply personal, poignant and hilarious, expect an evening full of well-known tunes, originals, celebrity impressions, and gift giveaways! Was Tim ever a wunderkind? Is it too late to be one now? Isn't that just the dumbest sounding word ever? Direct from New York, don't miss this rising star on the New York Theatre scene live in Orlando for the first time ever!

On Saturday, December 27th, Realbuto and company will take the stage one last time at 8:00 PM for one night only.
