About the Event
A Tony Award-winning musical based on David Lindsay-Abaire's play centers on Kimberly Levaco, a teenage girl whose illness causes her to age at an alarming rate. Before she can experience life as an adult, she rapidly transforms into an elderly woman. Her narrative unfolds like a dark fairy tale that is both whimsical and sharply poignant, reminding audiences of the preciousness of time itself. The production blends quirky humor with social satire targeting grown-up immaturity, featuring music by Jeanine Tesori and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire designed to make viewers both smile and feel deeply moved. Suitable for ages 13 and up; children under five are not permitted in the theater. The performance includes strong language, crude comedy, references to alcohol consumption, and authentic New Jersey dialect.
