KIMBERLY AKIMBO
Hampstead Theatre
If you've heard the buzz about Kimberly Akimbo, the Tony Award-winning musical, Hampstead's got the European premiere. It's the story of a teenager with a rare genetic condition that physically ages her four times faster than normal. She's 16, she looks 74, and she's determined to live a full life before time runs out.
The writing is serious: Jeanine Tesori and David Lindsay-Abaire have both won major accolades for their work. But the show balances emotion with humour and wraps it all in a heist plot, which keeps things moving. Maria Friedman leads the cast, an exceptional performer with multiple Olivier Awards to her name. It's the kind of show that works as both character-driven theatre and genuine entertainment.
