Awarded Best Musical Production at the 2024 Off West End Awards, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button isn't your typical musical. Lauded by WhatsOnStage and Broadway World with 5-star reviews, the musical is based on an original story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Jethro Compton (Wolf's Blood, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance) writes and directs, with music from award-winning Darren Clark (These Trees Are Made of Blood, Day of the Living). Clark’s music features lively Celtic folk melodies, perfectly complementing the fantastical elements of the show.
The story
