The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' Gets a Folk-Musical Makeover
Briefly

In 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,' the titular character, born with the wisdom of age, embarks on a fable-like journey of romance and adventure in 1918 Cornwall.
The musical adaptation presents a unique interpretation of Benjamin Button's story, transforming it from the film's backdrop of New Orleans to a whimsical Cornish setting.
Creators Jethro Compton and Darren Clark have dedicated eight years to this project, infusing their folk-rock musical with earnest questions about life and aging.
The show features a cast of 13 actor-musicians, creating a vibrant atmosphere reminiscent of a Mumford & Sons concert, enhancing the fable-like storytelling.
