Kimberly is quite different from any other Broadway character because she's a teenager with a body that ages far quicker than normal due to a genetic condition. Her grim diagnosis comes with a typical life expectancy, of sadly as little as 16 years.

Joining Kimberly on her journey are her parents, her criminal aunt Debra, and a group of supportive friends. This Broadway show captures the hilarious story of family dysfunction and comical escapades with the added emotional layer of first crushes, mortality, and so much more.
