Some shows leave you smiling. Some leave you in tears. And then there’s Kimberly Akimbo; a rare gem that manages to do both, often within the same scene. In an Australian premiere co-produced by State Theatre Company South Australia and Melbourne Theatre Company, this Tony Award-winning musical arrives in Adelaide with all the warmth, wit, and wonder you'd expect from a world-class production. Directed with heart and soul by Mitchell Butel, Kimberly Akimbo is a perfect blend of quirky comedy, emotional depth, and musical brilliance. Bursting with colour, energy and heart from the very first scene, it’s a show that leaves you laughing one minute and wiping away tears the next. If you're heading out to see just one show this winter, let it be this one.
