KIMBERLY AKIMBO Will Play Birmingham’s BJCC Concert Hall in November
The Tony Award-winning Best Musical comes to Birmingham as part of the Broadway in Birmingham Series.
The American Theatre Guild will present Kimberly Akimbo, the 2023 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, at Birmingham’s BJCC Concert Hall November 25–30, 2025. The engagement is part of the 2025–2026 Broadway in Birmingham Series.
About the Show
Kimberly Akimbo was the most critically acclaimed musical of its season, winning five Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book, Best Score, Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical, and Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical. With a book and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire, music by Tony Award winner Jeanine Tesori, direction by Tony Award nominee Jessica Stone, and choreography by Danny Mefford, the show is both uproariously funny and deeply moving.
The story follows Kimberly, a teenager about to turn 16 who suffers from a rare genetic condition that makes her look decades older. Navigating family dysfunction, her first crush, and even potential felony charges, Kim is determined to find happiness and adventure against all odds.
Cast
Broadway veteran Ann Morrison will star as Kimberly, joined by Marcus Phillips (Seth), Emily Koch (Debra), Brandon Springman (Buddy), Laura Woyasz (Pattie), Gabby Beredo (Delia), Skye Alyssa Friedman (Teresa), Darron Hayes (Martin), and Max Santopietro (Aaron). Understudies include Benjamin Camenzuli, Aidan B. Jones, Sarah Lynn Marion, Regene Seven Odon, and Bailey Ryon, with Janet Dickinson as the Kimberly standby.
