The Original West End Cast Recording of the acclaimed musical, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, has officially surpassed one million streams across all major platforms, a major milestone for the triple Olivier Award-winning show. This exciting news comes as the production enters its final two months at the Ambassadors Theatre, with its final performance set for Saturday, October 11, 2025.
Since opening in October 2024, the hit British musical has captivated over 125,000 audience members with its enchanting story and powerful, actor-musician led score. The production, which has run for exactly one year and one day, is a unique take on F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic short story, relocating the tale to a Cornish fishing village. The show's success was cemented with three Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical, and individual wins for John Dagleish (Best Actor in a Musical) and the show's musical supervisors, arrangers, and orchestrators, Darren Clark and Mark Aspinall.
The show stars Olivier Award winner John Dagleish as Benjamin Button and Olivier Award nominee Clare Foster as Elowen Keene. They are joined by a talented ensemble that brings the breathtaking music to life on stage. Fans have also embraced the unique theatrical experience, with many visiting the custom-built pub, The Pickled Crab, where they have enjoyed over 900 pasties and 6,340 pints of Proper Job beer.
With just eight weeks remaining, this is the last chance for audiences to catch this extraordinary production. The show first gained a following during its sold-out 2023 run at the Southwark Playhouse before transferring to the West End, where it has continued to build on its critical and commercial success. Don't miss your final opportunity to witness this unordinary musical that reminds us to make every second count.
