The new girl in town is making heads spin. You’ve got to move fast when you’re 16 going on 70.

Meet your new favourite musical. It took Broadway by storm and won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Brimming with tunes that soar, this Australian production stars Marina Prior, Casey Donovan and Christie Whelan Browne.

New Jersey, 1999: from a sea of teen angst, unrequited crushes and popularity contests bursts Kimberly, a musical heroine like no other. Equal parts teen comedy, heist caper and unlikely love story, her rollercoaster journey shows that the tempo of your own song is yours to set.

Born with a genetic rarity that means she ages at four times the rate of everyone else, Kimberly is a teen in mid-life form and living on borrowed time. She can cope with her dropkick dad and narcissistic mum – can’t spell ‘dysfunction’ without ‘fun’, right? But when her criminal aunt Debra shows up with a get-rich-quick scheme too good to be legal, Kimberly decides you’re only young once.
