A stunning adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic short story, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Musical is an extraordinary musical journey depicting a love that defies all odds. With music from MTI Stiles & Drewe Mentorship Award-winning Darren Clark, this musical boasts a sold-out run at Southwark Playhouse in 2023 and bagged the Best Musical Theatre Production at the 2024 Off West End Awards.

Born with the appearance of an old man in a quaint Cornish village, Benjamin defies the natural order of aging, inexplicably growing younger with each passing day.

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.
