Andria Tieman — Theater Critic

Kimberly Akimbo is unlike anything this reviewer has ever seen. The audience was alternating between laughing out loud and welling up with tears, but never in a way that felt manipulative. It’s a refreshing and unique experience.

Despite a rather thin plot, this show still sparkles due to the depth of talent among the cast. Rachel Simone Webb as Juliet is outstanding–she also played this role on Broadway. Her voice is clear and bright and her stage presence is commanding. It’s refreshing to watch a show where the women really take control of the narrative, in particular, Teal Wicks as Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare’s wife) basically steals the plot from Shakespeare and even inserts herself directly into the play to make sure things go the way she wants.
