Big ups to LoJoFam Fernell Hogan. The new musical KIMBERLY AKIMBO had its official Off-Broadway opening night last night. Had to put the TuTchT on him in this graphic based of recent production photos. This widely-praised new musical stars Tony winner Victoria Clark, Steven Boyer, & LoJoFav Bonnie Milligan , with Alli Mauzey and four amazing young performers (two in their Off-Broadway debuts.) Fernell is the vet among the young ensemble with a hit Broadway show under this belt (The Prom) and the first national tour of the Tina Fey hit Mean Girls. Olivia Elease Hardy (Summer: The Donna Summer Musical, US Tour) and new-comers Justin Cooley & Michael Iskander round out the small cast. The reviews are rolling in for this off-beat comedy about a teen with an aging disease that makes her look like a 72 year old. Amount the quotes from last night, “The best new musical of 2021” (Time Out New York,) “a momentous work of theatre, exquisitely performed.” (Theaterly) The book and lyrics are by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire and the music by Tony-winner Jeanine Tesori. If you’re not familiar with her name, you are well-aware of her work over the past 2 decades of hits. She is a part of two of the biggest musical works of stage and screen right now… composer of the Broadway hit Caroline, or Change and vocal arranger/producer of Spielberg’s West Side Story, opening this week. If you’re in NYC, go check out our brother Fernell in this new hit musical! #LoJoWerkz #FernellHogan #KimberlyAkimbo #ASongofGreenwood #NewMusicals #FernelltheOriginator https://www.instagram.com/p/CXRba4eFpc9/?utm_medium=tumblr

I recently caught a production of Kimberly Akimbo, currently playing at Theatre Gym. This may have been one of the most evocative and groundbreaking performances I have ever seen. At last!!! Age-blind casting of ingenues! What has taken stodgy regional theater so long!? In this play, the title character is a sixteen-year-old girl, and in this production, the part was played by someone who was, to put it delicately, a bit over sixteen-years-old. Truth be told, I'm not sure I could have passed for sixteen myself, although in a particularly favorite gymboree outfit, I come pretty close. But really, the casting of Kimberly could have been awkward. Instead, it really elevated the play. I believe they changed lines in the script to cover up the fact that the actress looked too old for the part. This added a VERY interesting subplot about some aging disease. Extremely creative! It reminded me of the time I refused to shave my head for a role in Terezin: Children of the Holocaust. We simply rewrote the script to permit a lovely bouffant. I'm fairly certain the production did not suffer. In any event, I enjoyed the show a great deal, even though Kimberly looked older than her parents. I can suspend disbelief with the best of them, and I encourage this type of thinking!! I'm excited for what the future brings for Theatre Gym!! I do hope they consider The Music Man. I believe I can bring new meaning to the part of Winthrop. Or maybe simply a lovely, understated Christmas Pagaent. I have always wanted to play the Baby Jesus. What ho!
