Broadway Star Jim Hogan Shines in ‘Kimberly Akimbo’ Tour
UPDATE: Broadway star Jim Hogan is captivating audiences as he tours with the Tony Award-winning musical Kimberly Akimbo, performing at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia from October 21 to November 2. The show dives into the life of a teenage girl dealing with rapid aging and family struggles, and Hogan plays her father, Buddy Levaco.
Hogan’s dual career as a Broadway performer and member of the viral trio T.3 is drawing attention. The group, which includes fellow performers Brendan Jacob Smith and Liam Fennecke, gained fame on America’s Got Talent in 2021. “We’re all Broadway professionals,” Hogan stated, expressing hope to make T.3 a full-time endeavor in the future.
While Hogan continues to enjoy the road, performing in various cities, he acknowledges the challenge of balancing both careers. “If we could find a way to get T.3 to be a full-time experience, we would jump at that opportunity,” he said, highlighting the group’s unique blend of vocal harmonies influenced by boy-band pop, Broadway, and classical music.
Fans can catch T.3 live in Philadelphia at World Cafe Live on December 17. Hogan, who credits his early training at Upper Darby Summer Stage for launching his career, describes acting in Kimberly Akimbo as a rewarding experience. “I love being out on the road. I love traveling and experiencing different cultures,” he shared.
The storyline of Kimberly Akimbo follows a young girl who, despite her extraordinary challenges, remains optimistic about finding happiness. Hogan’s role as a father provides a new perspective for him, as he navigates the dynamics of performing alongside much younger cast members.
Hogan’s journey from the Penn State University BFA Musical Theater Program to Broadway has been remarkable. He reflects on the importance of his experiences, stating that they were “springboards” into this fulfilling career. As the Kimberly Akimbo tour progresses, Hogan looks forward to bringing the production home to his Philadelphia audience.
With the tour just days away from its first show in Philadelphia, fans are eagerly anticipating this emotional and powerful performance. “This is going to be a great one,” Hogan promised, inviting everyone to join in this theatrical adventure.
