Hampstead Theatre has released the official trailer for Kimberly Akimbo, the Tony Award-winning musical starring Maria Friedman. The production runs until Saturday 7 November 2026.
The official trailer for Kimberly Akimbo was released on Wednesday 23 September. It is the first trailer for Michael Longhurst’s production of the musical, which runs at the Hampstead Theatre until Saturday 7 November 2026.
The film has been published on the theatre’s own YouTube channel, and can also be watched in full on YouTube. It follows the clip of the company performing Great Adventure, released earlier this month.
Maria Friedman, a four-time Olivier Award winner, plays Kimberly Levaco. Alice Fearn plays Debra, Peter Hannah plays Buddy Levaco, Gilli Jones plays Seth Weetis and Niamh Perry plays Pattie Levaco. The company also includes Sara Hajizadeh, Ronav Jain, Robin Simões da Silva and Aviva Tulley, with swings Rachel Flynn and Daniel Walford.
The musical has a book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire and music by Jeanine Tesori. It won five Tony Awards in 2023, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book. Its central character is a 16-year-old whose rare genetic condition makes her age four times faster than usual, and who is looking for love and meaning with time against her.
