The most “unordinary” musical is coming to the West End this autumn.
Tickets are now on sale for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button musical, which recently announced its transfer to the West End after a sold-out run at the Southwark Playhouse.
The show is moving to London’s Ambassadors Theatre for a five-month run from October 2024 to February 2025.
Following the transfer announcement, the show’s director Jethro Compton said: “This show has gone on the most incredible journey over the last seven years. What’s even more incredible is [that] the journey is only really just beginning.
“Button started life as a scrappy little show with a big heart, but the love it’s been shown by our audiences has allowed it to grow into something ready for the West End. We’re so unbelievably grateful for everyone’s support – and we can’t wait to continue this journey with you all.”
Based on the short story by F Scott Fitzgerald – and the 2008 film starring Brad Pitt – this new musical tells the tale of a man mysteriously born old who then begins to age in reverse.
The book and lyrics were penned by Compton and Darren Clark, who decided to change the Baltimore setting for a sleepy fishing harbour on the north coast of Cornwall.
With the message to “make every second count”, this “foot-stomping” and “enchantingly beautiful” production is set to be a real tear-jerker. So, here’s how you can get tickets.
