Video Broadway's Kimberly Akimbo Records Cast Album; Watch Bonnie Milligan Belt Out 'Better' in the Studio

Milligan is joined by her Broadway co-stars, including Tony winner Victoria Clark, Justin Cooley, and more.

Broadway's Kimberly Akimbo has recorded a Broadway cast album, to be released later this season. The new musical, which makes its Broadway premiere at the Booth Theatre following a 2021 run at Off-Broadway's Atlantic Theater Company, features a book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire and a score by Fun Home Tony winner Jeanine Tesori.

Get a sneak peek at the upcoming Ghostlight Records release with a music video featuring Bonnie Milligan, who plays Debra, belting out her vocals for "Better" from the score along with the rest of the company above.

Directed by Jessica Stone and featuring choreography by Danny Mefford, the production began performances October 12 and is set to celebrate opening night November 10. 

Tony winner Victoria Clark (The Light in the Piazza) stars as Kimberly, a bright New Jersey teenager with an aging disease that makes her look like a 72-year-old lady. She leads a cast that also includes Justin Cooley in his Broadway debut, Tony nominee Steven Boyer (Hand to God), Alli Mauzey (Cry Baby, Wicked), Milligan (Head Over Heels), and Fernell Hogan (The Prom), plus Olivia Elease Hardy, Michael Iskander, and Nina White, all making their Broadway debuts.
