Why watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button musical

Awarded Best Musical Production at the 2024 Off West End Awards, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button isn't your typical musical. Lauded by WhatsOnStage and Broadway World with 5-star reviews, the musical is based on an original story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Jethro Compton (Wolf's Blood, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance) writes and directs, with music from award-winning Darren Clark (These Trees Are Made of Blood, Day of the Living). Clark’s music features lively Celtic folk melodies, perfectly complementing the fantastical elements of the show.

The story

Born with the physical appearance of an old man in a charming Cornish fishing village, Benjamin Button defies the natural order of aging. As the years progress, he inexplicably grows younger by the day. This peculiar condition isolates Benjamin, yearning for connection in a world that perceives him differently. Can he forge a meaningful life as he journeys backward through time? Book tickets for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button musical to find out!

It is an outstanding new British Musical. The Ambassador Theatre is a small intimate venue and the ideal setting for the show. A must see! Ticketing on the app was easy to use.

This was an outstanding musical with an incredibly versatile, unique and talented cast. One of the best musicals I have seen. It was full of life, vibrant and beautiful. I will be going back to see it when I am next in London.
