The most Tony Award-winning show of its season

The 2023 Tony-winner for Best Musical, based on David Lindsay-Abaire’s play of the same title, revolves around a teenage girl named Kimberly Levaco, who suffers from a condition that rapidly accelerates the aging process. Before she has had a chance to venture forth into the world as an adult, she finds herself turning into an old woman.

Her story, unfolding like a dark fairy tale, is as whimsical as it is piercing. Yet the effect is powerfully life-affirming in the way it reminds audiences of the preciousness of the time we have at hand. Full of quirky humor and social satire on grownup immaturity, the musical features a score by Jeanine Tesori (Fun Home) and David Lindsay-Abaire (Shrek) that will leave you both grinning and deeply touched.

Digniinta nuxurka/Talooyinka Da'da

Contains mature language, crude humor, references to alcohol use and past tragic events, and authentic New Jersey vernacular. This performance is recommended for ages 13 and older with parent/guardian discretion.

Mawduucyada
  • In addition to experiencing a rare genetic condition that others don’t understand, Kimberly is also managing a difficult family dynamic. In some moments, she is the actual adult in the room instead of her parents. How do you think she handles all of this while remaining true to herself? What advice would you offer if you could?
  • Kimberly’s genetic condition severely shortens her expected lifespan. She begins to question whether she should continue being a “good” person all the time when she doesn’t know how much time she has left. How might our perception of time influence our viewpoints and decisions?
