Get ready, New Orleans! Broadway’s quirkiest, most heartwarming hit is coming to town this fall, and tickets go on sale Friday, July 11, at 10 a.m.

As the winner of five Tony Awards (including Best Musical!), Kimberly Akimbo will take the stage at the Saenger Theatre October 7-12, 2025, as part of the Broadway in New Orleans series presented by Entergy. Tickets start at just $29.85 and will be available at saengernola.com,  BroadwayInNewOrleans.com, or by calling (504) 287-0372.

Kimberly Akimbo is a genre-defying musical about a teenager with a rare aging condition, a wildly dysfunctional family, and a surprising knack for hope. It’s funny, weird, moving, and critics have fallen head over heels.

While Kimberly Akimbo is full of quirky humor and heart, it’s best suited for older kids and teens. Most theaters recommend the show for ages 10 and up, though some suggest 13+ due to strong language, references to alcohol, and mature themes like teen pregnancy and family dysfunction. The musical strikes a unique balance between lighthearted absurdity and emotional depth, making it a powerful watch for audiences who can appreciate its complexities. Parents should use discretion based on their child’s age and sensitivity, but for the right viewer, it can be a moving and memorable experience.

Two-time Tony winner Jeanine Tesori (Fun Home, Caroline, or Change) teams up with Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire to bring Kimberly Akimbo to life with unforgettable music and heartfelt storytelling. The original Broadway production wowed audiences across 600+ performances and earned near-universal acclaim. Now, the national tour brings that same theatrical magic to cities across North America—New Orleans included. With direction by Tony nominee Jessica Stone and choreography by Dear Evan Hansen’s Danny Mefford, the show’s powerhouse creative team keeps Kimberly shining just as brightly on the road.

Don’t wait until October to get excited; Make sure you’re ready to snag your seat this Friday when tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. For more details, visit KimberlyAkimboTheMusical.com and follow @akimbomusical on socials.
