The Tony Award-winning musical "Kimberly Akimbo," produced by Dry Cold Productions, is touring North America with a series of scheduled performances [1], [2].
The production's tour follows critical acclaim for its unique narrative about a teenage girl whose body ages rapidly. This subject matter has resonated with audiences, driving the show's expansion from Broadway to regional theaters [2], [4].
The tour began with an opening at the Wharton Center at the University of Michigan on March 10, 2025 [2]. Following this start, the show moved through several major cities. In Philadelphia, the musical played at the Academy of Music from Oct. 21 to Nov. 2, 2025 [3].
Frances Egler, vice president of theatrical programming and presentations for Ensemble Arts Philly, said the show is "the Tony Award-winning best musical" [3].
The production also scheduled a stop at the Shubert Theatre in Boston, which served as the final tour stop for the acclaimed musical [4]. Beyond these U.S. dates, the production is slated for the Off-MIRVISH season in Toronto [5].
The musical's success is reflected in its ability to maintain momentum across different markets. An author for MSN said that "Kimberly Akimbo," a show about aging, is aging very well itself [4]. The production continues to feature the numerous musical numbers that defined its original run [1].
“"The Tony Award-winning best musical,"”
The successful transition of Kimberly Akimbo from a Broadway hit to a North American tour demonstrates the commercial viability of high-concept, emotionally driven narratives in regional theater. By targeting major hubs like Boston, Philadelphia, and Toronto, Dry Cold Productions is maximizing the reach of its Tony-winning intellectual property beyond the New York market.
