Following its four Olivier Award nominations, the new British musical The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has extended its West End run at the Ambassadors Theatre until 30 August 2025.

The Most-Nominated New British Musical at the Olivier Awards 2025
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has received four Olivier Award nominations, making it the most-nominated new British musical of 2025:
🏆 Best New Musical
🏆 Outstanding Musical Contribution – Darren Clark & Mark Aspinall
🏆 Best Actor in a Musical – John Dagleish (Benjamin Button)
🏆 Best Actress in a Musical – Clare Foster (Elowen Keene)
This follows its previous WhatsOnStage Awards nominations for Best New Musical and Best Musical Direction/Supervision, as well as its Best Musical Theatre Production win at the 2024 Off West End Awards.
A Spellbinding Tale of Time and Love
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button takes F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic short story and relocates it to a Cornish fishing village, where the mysterious birth of Benjamin Button leads to an extraordinary journey of love, loss, and discovery. With a stunning folk-inspired score, the show has been praised for its inventive storytelling, deeply moving performances, and breathtaking live music performed by an actor-musician ensemble.
Originally debuting in 2019, the production enjoyed a sell-out run at Southwark Playhouse in 2023, before making a triumphant transfer to the West End’s Ambassadors Theatre.
