| book description |

'I want an adventure while I still can! And it's gonna be scary and fun and really stupid.' Kimberly Levaco is about to turn sixteen but, due to a rare genetic disorder that's prematurely ageing her four and a half times faster than her new high school friends, she looks seventy-four. Ever the optimist, she's determined to find happiness against all odds. When her ex-con aunt shows up with a get-rich-quick scam, Kim's all in for the great adventure â€“ illegal or notâ€¦ Can she pull off the heist, find first love and live the kind of life she's been dreaming of? Kimberly Akimbo was first performed Off-Broadway in 2021. The musical, with book and lyrics byÂ David Lindsay-Abaire and music byÂ Jeanine Tesori, premiered on Broadway the following year, winning five Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score. It received its British premiere at Hampstead Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Michael Longhurst and starring Olivier Award-winning Maria Friedman in the title role.
