"A wondrous new musical . . . Breathtakingly lovely and often riotously funny . . .Blends the sweet, the sad, and the tartly offbeat in ideal dimensions." --Charles Isherwood, Wall Street Journal

"Kimberly Akimbo is already the rare example of a good play that has become an even better musical . . . It embraces the ability of song, even in tragicomedy, to extend emotion into bigger realms . . . It is profoundly funny and heartbreaking . . . The season's most moving new musical." --Jesse Green, New York Times

"A fresh and gorgeous musical . . . Lindsay-Abaire and Tesori rearrange the pieces of Kimberly Akimbo (the play) carefully, and in doing so they find hidden, sideways beauty." --Helen Shaw, New York Magazine

"Kimberly Akimbo is the sort of refreshingly unexpected musical that makes anexhilarating case for the vibrancy and potential of the form. It asks big questions about family and mortality. It's unabashedly heartfelt and irresistibly funny. Like life, it's inherently sad and a little absurd, and like its subject, Kimberly Akimbo is exceedingly rare and almost impossible not to love." --Naveen Kumar, Variety
