The production captured hearts last year with its sold-out run at Southwark Playhouse - winning Best Musical Theatre Production at the 2024 Off West End Awards.
Olivier Award winner John Dagleish will star as Benjamin Button and will be joined by Matthew Burns, Jonathan Charles, Oonagh Cox, Anna Fordham, Philippa Hogg, Damien James, Ann Marcuson, Jack Quarton and Benedict Salter, all reprising their roles from the acclaimed run at Southwark Playhouse. Also joining the ensemble will be Elliot Mackenzie. Further casting to be announced in due course.
Jethro Compton and Darren Clark's musical takes audiences on an electrifying journey through the timeless tale of a love that defies all odds. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is an enchantingly beautiful musical that reminds us to make every second count. The musical contains a breathtaking soundtrack, performed by an actor-musician ensemble. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic short story is relocated to a fishing village on the north coast of Cornwall, you won't want to miss it!
