If Water for Elephants is a sweeping epic, Kimberly Akimbo is its delightfully offbeat counterpart: a small-scale story with enormous heart.
Winner of the 2023 Tony Award for Best Musical, along with four other Tonys including Best Score and Best Book, Kimberly Akimbo has been hailed as one of the most original, funny, and touching musicals in years.

Louisville’s festival scene is alive and well, and for fans of the Grateful Dead, and there’s one weekend that stands out above the rest. The Grateville Dead Music Festival returns this weekend — Friday through Sunday, October 17–19 — at the Brown-Forman Amphitheater at Waterfront Park. What began as a small, one-day gathering of local Deadheads has evolved into a beloved three-day celebration of music, community, and creative spirit.
To mark the festival’s 10th anniversary, Audience Magazine caught up with co-founder Ashley Angel, who, along with local entrepreneur Dennie Humphrey, launched the festival back in 2015. What started as a spontaneous idea has grown into one of Louisville’s most unique and soulful music events.
Listen to the full interview with Grateville Co-Founder, Ashley Angel:
Broadway in Louisville invites you to step right up to the most unusual circus you’ll ever see. Water for Elephants, which premiered on Broadway in 2024, is a bold new musical that marries old-fashioned showmanship with breathtaking stagecraft and contemporary storytelling. Adapted from Sara Gruen’s beloved 2006 novel — later a feature film starring Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson — the musical offers a unique blend of romance, danger, and nostalgia.
