Benjamin Button is not like other men. Under the curious and magical light of a full moon, not long after the First World War, he was born old. Fated to live a life in reverse, Benjamin grows more youthful each day, but all he wants to do is be accepted and fall in love. He is a curiosity in his sleepy fishing village, but will he ever find a place he belongs? Time and tide will tell, and soon his journey is affected by the eve of another war…Drawn from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s boundless imagination and transported to a fishing village on the north coast of Cornwall, the mythology and wonder of Benjamin Button becomes a dazzling folk-musical, performed live by a fantastic actor-musician ensemble. It arrives in the West End following an acclaimed world premiere at Southwark Playhouse, where it garnered five-star reviews and an Off West End Theatre Award for Best Musical Production.

I am very rarely lost with words for how a show surprises me and this is one of those moments. Having never read the story. Seen the movie and indeed very little knowledge other than he ages backwards this show is genuinely something special. A Read more

Incredible! Cried for most of it. I love an actor musician show, they are so talented. I hadn’t watched the film before seeing this, so only knew the very basics of the story but WOW. It was amazing!
