Victoria Clark and 19-year-old Justin Cooley have astonishing chemistry in “Kimberly Akimbo” on Broadway.
NEW YORK — They met as a veteran Tony Award-winning actress in her early 60s and an unknown from Kansas City, Kan., in his late teens, making his professional debut. Almost immediately, they were required to forge something remarkable: a believable relationship as 15-year-old friends in a musical about a girl who grows old too quickly, and a boy who has to grow up fast.
Under Jessica Stone’s witty direction, the show’s strengths include a Tesori-Lindsay-Abaire score that resounds with personality and supporting performances from the likes of Bonnie Milligan as Kimberly’s disruptive Aunt Debra; Alli Mauzey and Steven Boyer as her incompetent parents, Pattie and Buddy; and four young actors playing impressionable high schoolers: Olivia Elease Hardy, Fernell Hogan, Michael Iskander and Nina White.
“Sometimes a teenager will catch my eye,” Clark says. “And I’ll just watch them. Like get off the elevator, the subway, or I’ll like see a bunch of girlfriends talking.” In the lobby of her apartment building, she went up to one teenager “because she was wearing Doc Martens, which Kim wears. And she had these bell-bottom jeans that were super interesting.
“Conversely, Vicky, who is our most, let’s say, experienced actor in the cast,” Lindsay-Abaire adds, “also has this amazing youthful spirit about her, in the sort of gangly goofiness that makes her fit in perfectly with those teenagers.”
