The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button musical – in pictures

Photos are in for new folk musical The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button at Southwark Playhouse Elephant in London.

Olivier Award winner Jamie Parker (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, The History Boys) and Molly Osborne (Fiddler on the Roof, The Sez Party) lead a 12-strong cast of actor-musician’s including Matthew Burns, Jonathan Charles, Oonagh Cox, Anna Fordham, Philippa Hogg, Damien James, Ann Marcuson, Jack Quarton, Benedict Salter, and Tonny Shim.

The show is based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story which was previously made into a film by David Fincher starring Brad Pitt as a man who ages in reverse, and with Cate Blanchett as his love interest.

Billed as an “extraordinary, heart-wrenching, and timeless tale of a love that defies all odds”, the show is adapted, written and directed by Jethro Compton (Wolf’s Blood), and with songs by Darren Clark (These Trees Are Made of Blood, The Wicker Husband).

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is running at Southwark Playhouse Elephant to 1 July 2023.
