MAKE EVERY SECOND COUNT
After one year and one day in London's West End, and winning three Olivier Awards including Best New Musical,
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is headed for New York.
Based on the iconic short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald,
reimagined in a Cornish fishing village by Olivier Award-winning writing team Jethro Compton and Darren Clark,
and brought to life by a company of fifteen actor-musicians, this is the magical tale of a love that defies all odds.
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?
Playing this autumn at The Public Theater, New York.
