KIMBERLY AKIMBO Reviews — Page 2

I wish I had used my last show slot for my trip next weekend for this instead of Some Like It Hot…

Kad said: "If shows like Fun Home and The Band’s Visit can find success, then so can Kimberly Akimbo- a show that, despite its quirky concept, is far more of a crowd pleaser. Why must people immediately start treating it like its title character- as something living on borrowed time?"

Because market conditions aren't the same now as they were in 2015 and 2018, maybe? It's pretty understandable that folks (even critics) acknowledge reality. And even for the shows you mention, they too were living on borrowed time because of the nature of their subject matter and general execution. That's not to say it doesn't deserve a long run.

Deserving enthusiastic raves for the best new musical of the season. Let the producers do their job to build an audience and capitalize on the reviews, and if you're that concerned about a good show surviving a difficult season then go purchase a ticket for yourself and a friend.

I am far from a Tesori fan, but have always loved Clark, and these reviews made me bite the bullet and get a pair of tickets for early next year (and I'm not in New York that often). Call me a data point.

It is up at TKTS for 40% off tonight and tomorrow.

NYT reviews makes it sound like this show is going to close very soon.

I didn't think I've ever read anything like it......

Unsure why producers wouldn’t have opened this in the spring, on the cusp of awards season. Knowing they were pretty much guaranteed raves. Now they have to deal with the winter slump and trying desperately to fill the house during the quietest time on bdwy.

Saw the show last night and BOY I know opening was on the 10th but last night felt like a opening, Victoria got a VERY long entrance applause and the audience was just like a rock concert all night (the VERY large high school group in the orchestra probably had something to do with this)

It was pretty much SRO last night (and as someone in that position you really don't miss much except part of the skater world sign when it drops down) and for reference it is $42 for standing room and they will sell it when the show is CLOSE to sold out (I walked up about half an hour before curtain)

From off-broadway to broadway the show has become richer, the end of act one is even better with the new song. My only feeling is the set design still doesn't really do it for me but thats a small note when the rest of the production soars, Victoria and Bonnie absolutely will be tough to beat come TONY time and the book seems like a lock

Steve Boyer was out, considering he was at opening night I assume he must be filming something as his understudy Jim Hogan was on as Buddy and has been on and off all week apparently, he was very good and plays the character somewhat differently from Boyer, more off a drunk goofball versus boyer whoses take atleast off-broadway was a bit more bitter. Miguel Gil was on for Aaron and was also charming and fun to see

I don't know what the future holds for this but I am glad to have seen it when I did

Its on TKTS this weekend (as are most shows right now)

Rushed this morning because I absolutely want my sister and Mom to see this show while they're in town (it will be round 3 for me)!

We got there around 8:15 and were 8th and 9th in line. By 10:00 there was big line! It was hard to tell how many there were, but I'd put it in the ballpark of 40-50 people.

We got the last 3 rush tickets for the evening show. I think there must have been around 15.

It was amazing to see so much love for this show! Can't wait for tonight!
