The musical was today nominated for four Olivier awards; Best New Musical, Outstanding Musical Contribution, Best Actor in a Musical and Best Actress in a Musical.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button takes audiences on an electrifying journey through the timeless tale of a love that defies all odds. Brought to life by an extraordinary collective of actor-musicians, it's a beautiful and truly unordinary musical that reminds us to make every second count.

The production had a sold-out run at Southwark Playhouse in 2023 which enabled the show to win Best Musical Theatre Production at the Off West End Awards. It did obtain two nominations at the WhatsOnStage Awards this year.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button stars previous Olivier Award winner and current Olivier nominee for this role, John Dagleish as Benjamin Button. Two-time Olivier Award nominee, most recently for this role, Clare Foster as Elowen Keene. They star alongside Matthew Burns, Jonathan Charles, Oonagh Cox, Katy Ellis, Anna Fordham, Philippa Hogg, Damien James, Elliot Mackenzie, Ann Marcuson, Emily Panes, Jack Quarton and Benedict Salter.
