Hampstead Theatre has released production images for the European premiere of Kimberly Akimbo ahead of its official opening night on 9 September 2026.
Directed by Michael Longhurst, the Tony Award-winning musical features a book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire and music by Jeanine Tesori. The production is currently playing at Hampstead Theatre, where it runs until 7 November 2026.
The newly released photographs, taken by Marc Brenner, offer a first look at the cast in performance.
Four-time Olivier Award winner Maria Friedman stars as Kimberly Levaco, alongside Alice Fearn as Debra, Peter Hannah as Buddy Levaco, Gilli Jones as Seth Weetis and Niamh Perry as Pattie Levaco.
They are joined by Sara Hajizadeh, Ronav Jain, Robin Simões da Silva and Aviva Tulley, with Rachel Flynn and Daniel Walford completing the company as swings.
Kimberly Akimbo won five Tony Awards in 2023, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book.
The musical follows 16-year-old Kimberly Levaco, whose rare genetic condition causes her to age four times faster than usual. As she navigates adolescence, she searches for love, friendship and purpose while confronting the reality that time is not on her side.
The creative team includes designer Soutra Gilmour, musical supervisor and musical director Nigel Lilley, choreographer Matt Cole, lighting designer Jack Knowles, sound designer Paul Groothius, video designer Luke Halls and casting director Anna Cooper CDG.
