The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a musical playing Off Broadway at The Public Theater, making its North American premiere this fall after a celebrated run in London's West End. Olivier Award-winning writers Jethro Compton and Darren Clark reimagine F. Scott Fitzgerald's story of an old man who is not at the end of his life, but at the beginning. Set in a Cornish fishing village on the coast of Great Britain, it is brought to life by a company of 15 actor-musicians as a magical tale of a love that defies all odds. Compton also directs, with choreography by Chi-San Howard, and the show runs 2hr 30min, recommended for ages 12 and up.
