“Kimberly Akimbo,” the Tony Award Winner for Best Musical last year, is a comedy musical about “growing up and growing old but not particularly in that order,” according to Playhouse Square. Get ready to see the show July 15 – August 23, 2025.

This was Playhouse Square’s first live, in-person announcement in four years.

“We’re thrilled to be able to host a live audience for this event again,” said Playhouse Square President and CEO Craig Hassall. “The energy of the crowd reacting to the show titles as they are unveiled is something that cannot be replicated.”
