Review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO, Starring Maria Friedman, Hampstead Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Sep 10, 2026
Hampstead Theatre is not your typical destination for the UK premiere of a Tony-winning musical - but then Kimberly Akimbo is far from your typical musical. More interested in nuanced characters and complex feelings than tap numbers and top Cs, this deeply moving story of a teenage girl quite literally running out of time is refreshing and full of heart.

Review: THEN, NOW & NEXT, Southwark Playhouse
by Cindy Marcolina - Jun 29, 2023
The writers want so badly for this to be a soberly romantic mix between The Notebook and The Bridges of Madison County via Dear Evan Hansen, but only manage to hit the nails of its coffin.
