The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button in London

Following a sold-out run at Southwark Playhouse last year and scoring great reviews from critics, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is now at home in the West End. The winner of Best Musical at the Off West End Awards, discover everything the foot-stomping show with a warm heart has to offer at the Ambassadors Theatre.

Why you should book The Curious Case of Benjamin Button tickets

  • Based on the 13-Academy-Award-nominated 2008 movie that starred Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.
  • Hailed by many critics as their stand out musical highlight of 2023.
  • Featuring a breathtaking soundtrack that is brought to life by an unforgettable actor-musician ensemble.

A magical award-winning production

The iconic short story has been relocated to a Cornish fishing village by the writers Jethro Compton and Darren Clark, who have created an extraordinary tale about a timeless love that survives despite everything. Their enchanting new musical has already won Best Musical Theatre Production at the 2024 Off West End Awards along with five star reviews from Broadway World, The Reviews Hub and The Upcoming.

Compton is a British writer, director and theatre producer loved for his work on the world première of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Wolf’s Blood, Syrenia and more. Musician and lyricist Darren Clark has previously worked on Turing A Musical, The Wicker Husband, The Coup Coup Club and more.

The action takes place at the end of World War One, following Benjamin Button as he lives through the twentieth century, born as an old man and getting younger by the day. In a truly extraordinary musical that reminds us to make every second count, Benjamin Button is keen to find a place where he can belong. Will he find it? Only time and tide will tell.

The talented team behind the show

It started life as a ‘scrappy little show with a big heart’ according to the director Jethro Compton, but it has grown into a show worthy of a West End run. It’s produced by ATG Productions, Gary Beestone Associates, Gavin Kalin Productions, Eilene Davidson Productions, Umeda Arts Theater, and Jethro Compton Productions.

Experience the electrifying journey through the timeless tale of a love that defies all odds at the Ambassadors Theatre this Autumn. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a truly unordinary new musical that you'll love every second of.

Absolutely great

It is a marmite show you either love it or hate it. I have seen it twice and will bo going again with friends on 1st May. I couldn't stop tapping with my foot. We had an understudy for the main part. He was just as good as the original

Moved to tears

If you like folk music you will love this show. The actors all play 2 or 3 musical Instruments as well as many varied acting roles. They all excel in their parts. The story may be fantastical but its’ message is down to earth. Famiily is important, life rushes by and must be grasped! Only the over long ending disappoints. See this life affirming show.

Poetic

Dear Sir/Madam,You should put out the soundtrack of this excellent show, in my opinion it is much better than the score of the film of the same name staring Brad Pitt. Take care. Yours sincerely Luis Saraiva

A Show with both funny and sad parts

I enjoyed the show on on the whole as full of energy and funny at times. But there were some major tragedies that I felt could have been worked more realistically into story line and maybe handled a bit. more sensitivel. Otherwise we'll worth a visit for it's originality!
