David Lindsay-Abaire je americký dramatik a textař, jehož díla se často zabývají složitostí lidských vztahů a nečekanými zvraty osudu. Jeho psaní vyniká pronikavým vhledem do postav a schopností proplétat humor s hlubokou melancholií. Klíčovým prvkem jeho tvorby je zkoumání způsobu, jakým se jednotlivci vyrovnávají se ztrátou, žalem a hledáním smyslu v těžkých životních situacích. Lindsay-Abaire mistrovsky zachycuje univerzální lidské emoce a přetváří je v poutavé a myšlenkově podnětné divadelní zážitky.

"Kimberly Akimbo is already the rare example of a good play that has become an even better musical." --New York Times A playful and powerful musicalization of Lindsay-Abaire's beloved play about a young girl forced to grow up too fast. Kimberly Akimbo tells the story of a young girl suffering from a rare disease that causes her to age four times faster than her high school peers. Surrounded by a deeply neurotic and dysfunctional family, Kimberly must also emotionally age at an accelerated rate. When she meets fellow misfit Seth, the two form an unlikely bond in the midst of social alienation. Written with composer Jeanine Tesori, Lindsay-Abaire's musical adaptation of his beloved play retains the original's quirky charm while deepening its emotional resonance.
