Kimberly Akimbo is the 2021 musical adaptation of the 2000 play of the same name by David Lindsey Abaire. The adaptation was done by Lindsey-Abaire and Jeanine Tesori, who had previously worked together on Shrek: The Musical. It first premiered Off-Broadway in November 2021 before a move to Broadway in 2022.Like the play, the musical is about lonely New Jersey teen Kimberly Levaco who suffers from a rare disease that causes her body to age at 4 times the normal rate. As a result, she's only in high school but looks to be in her 70s, and is nearing the end of her life expectancy. She's also the adult compared to her immature parents and a social misfit. But Kimberly is determined to make the most of her remaining time, and is both swept into an odd friendship with awkward nerd Seth and a white-collar crime plan hatched by her freewheeling Aunt Debra. | |

Why Couldn't You Be Different? | |
| Kimberly Akimbo (2021) (Theatre) / int_4623b3bb | comment |
Why Couldn't You Be Different?: Kimberly's mother unsubtly prays that her second pregnancy will be normal and not ridden with a rare rapid-aging disease like her first one. Justified, since her mother knows she will likely see Kimberly die from said disease, and one child death is hard enough to endure. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Kimberly Akimbo (2021) (Theatre) / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Played straight that Debra did get away with a lot in the past. Though also subverted in a way. Kimberly disapproves of Debra deepening the pressure the other kids to pull off their bank scam. She and Seth end up taking Debra's share while paying their friends. It's somewhat implied that Debra realizes what her niece means by "Don't worry, I'm going to do what you taught me" and accepts this fate. | |

Cool Aunt: Played With. Kimberly's aunt Debra is a fun and chaotic woman who is so charismatic that she is capable of committing various scams. She convinces Kimberly and her friends to commit a check fraud scam. But this act still helps Kimberly have fun and break free from her family a bit. | |
