STORY
About The Show
Make every second count.
It was all just a matter of time. And finally, the wait is over. The foot-stomping and award-winning musical The Curious Case of Benjamin Button arrives in London’s West End after capturing hearts and selling out at Southwark Playhouse.
With a breathtaking soundtrack brought to life by an extraordinary actor-musician ensemble, writing team Jethro Compton and Darren Clark relocate F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic short story to a fishing village on the north coast of Cornwall.
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? Only time and tide will tell.
An electrifying journey through the timeless tale of a love that defies all odds, join us with friends and loved ones at The Ambassadors Theatre for a unique chance to catch this enchantingly beautiful and unordinary new musical. You’ll love every second.
