The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, “The best British musical in decades” (WhatsOnStage), has blazed into the West End. This epic, intimate, and unforgettable hit is “A musical to treasure” (The Standard).
Based on the iconic short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald and reimagined in a Cornish fishing village by award-winning writing team Jethro Compton and Darren Clark, this unique, actor-musician led story is “epic and cinematic with a tremendous score” (Daily Mail).
The 13-strong cast of actor-musicians playing 30 instruments perform “miracles of dexterity on stage” (The Times), bringing to life a heart-burstingly, magical tale of a love that defies all odds.
Under the light of a full moon, something most curious occurs… Benjamin Button is born old. Bound to the fate of growing younger each day, Benjamin wants nothing more than to live a little life. But will he ever find a place to belong?
Now playing at London’s Ambassadors Theatre, don’t miss your chance to see this “sure-fire West End hit” (The i) – you’ll love every second.
