The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has announced a West End transfer, coming to the Ambassadors Theatre in London from October 2024.
The production has already enjoyed a sold-out run at Southwark Playhouse last year, scoring great reviews from the critics, and winning Best Musical at the Off West End Awards 2024.
The full cast and creative team for the West End will be announced soon. The cast of the Southwark Playhouse production featured Olivier Award winner Jamie Parker (Next to Normal, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, The History Boys), and Molly Osborne (Fiddler on the Roof, The Sez Party).
The show is based on the short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and has a book and lyrics by Jethro Compton, and music and lyrics by Darren Clark.
The story was also made into a hit film by David Fincher starring Brad Pitt as a man who ages in reverse, and with Cate Blanchett as his love interest.
Director Jethro Compton said in a statement: “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.”
The show is produced by ATG Productions, Gary Beestone Associates, Gavin Kalin Productions, Eilene Davidson Productions, Umeda Arts Theater, and Jethro Compton Productions.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is playing at the Ambassadors Theatre in London from 10 October 2024 to 15 February 2025.
