Brought to you by the prestigious Thelma Gaylord PAT At Civic Center Music Hall , the musical is stepping into the spotlight of Oklahoma City, on Friday 12th September 2025. The musical combines the two polarities of a teen, one struggling with unreal aging issues, and the other as an ordinary adolecent going through her phases.

The musical has the ability to strike a chord on the audience by fusing self reflection, and judgement, regarding one’s life point of view and the strength to challenge suffering. While packing so many life lessons secretly, the show can also be irresistibly funny, and dark! Kimberly uses her humor to cope with life and much of the emotional burden that her affliction brings.

Kimberly’s dearest relationship is with Jaff her friend, a sophomore, who likes to tingle with his words, and emotional complexicity much of the time. Apart from her fullfilling relationship with Jeff, one can hardly say more, her mother “Pattie”, is an anxious, abruptly remote and emotionally unavailable often seeming to be caught up with her drama. “Buddy” Kimberly’s father is an alcoholic who usually fails to demonstrate a good father figure, and then there is “Aunt Debra” an eccentric con-artist, who’s entire interest was pulling successful plots at all costs.

Don’t undermine the show by the coloring, and braces, Kimberly Akimbo can take you on an emotional rollercoaster, of sadness, humor, empathy, frustration, compassion, and hope, all at once.
