The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Dates

From 10th October 2024.

What to expect

It was all just a matter of time. And finally, the wait is over. The foot-stomping and award-winning musical, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, arrives in London’s West End after capturing hearts and selling out at Southwark Playhouse.

With a breathtaking soundtrack brought to life by an extraordinary actor-musician ensemble, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic short story is relocated to a fishing village on the north coast of Cornwall by writing team Jethro Compton and Darren Clark.

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…

To celebrate the West End opening of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, set in a Cornish fishing village, GWR and Network Rail teamed up with the production to give travellers at Paddington Station a warm Cornish welcome. Watch the full video below.
