For the very first time outside London and New York, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button arrives in Christchurch this May for a strictly limited season.
Reimagined from the timeless short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby, this extraordinary musical transports audiences to a fishing village on the Cornish coast for an unforgettable adventure filled with love, hope and wonder.
Born old and destined to grow younger each day, Benjamin sets out to find his place in the world – and discovers an extraordinary love that defies time itself.
Brought spectacularly to life by 15 actor-musicians playing 30 instruments, the production bursts with a foot-stomping, heart-stirring live score, inventive theatrical storytelling and irresistible joy.
Epic in scale yet intimate in feeling, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is pure theatrical magic: an uplifting, life-affirming celebration of love, life and the moments that matter, reminding us all to make every second count.
