The show features a book and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole), music by Tony Award winner Jeanine Tesori (Fun Home), choreography by Danny Mefford (Dear Evan Hansen) and direction by award-winning director Jessica Stone.

Kim, played by Tony Award winner Victoria Clark, is a bright and funny New Jersey teen, who happens to look like a 72-year-old lady. And yet her aging condition may be the least of her problems.
