British actress and director known for musical theatre
The Guardian reports from rehearsals in London where composer Jeanine Tesori discusses aging, youth, and the Tony-winning Kimberly Akimbo. The show follows a teenage girl aging four times faster than normal, wrapped in a witty, chaotic family. London’s production stars Maria Friedman as Kimberly, with Tesori and David Lindsay-Abaire looking to audience interpretation and the show’s hopeful, humorous core.
