Posted on
It was always just a matter of time, and now the wait is finally over! Following last year’s sold-out run at [Southwark Playhouse](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/southwark-playhouse-london), the award-winning musical will be making its West End debut this Autumn! Don’t miss your chance to see this enchantingly beautiful show when it opens at the [Ambassadors Theatre](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/ambassadors-theatre-london) on the 10th October. Book your tickets when they become available.
Winner of Best Musical Theatre Production at the 2024 Off West End Awards, *The Curious Case of Benjamin Button* is a powerful and poignant production** **which highlights the importance of making every second count.
An electrifying journey following the timeless tale of a love, this brand-new musical is based on the short story of the same name. With a breathtaking soundtrack brought to life by an extraordinary actor-musician ensemble, **F. Scott Fitzgerald**’s tearjerker is relocated to a fishing village on the north coast of Cornwall by writing team **Jethro Compton** and **Darren Clark**.
The show’s director, Jethro Compton, said today: “This show has gone on the most incredible journey over the last seven years. What’s even more incredible, is 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.”
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…
