If I Could Turn Back Time

Winner of three 2025 Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical and Outstanding Musical Contribution!

Following its critically acclaimed run at London's Ambassador's Theatre, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is now transferring to the Big Apple, finding a new home at The Public's Newman Theater! Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story, and set to a winning folk-infused score that sees the multi-talented ensemble take up instruments, this wonderful and heartwarming production tells the story of Benjamin Button, who experiences the unique affliction of ageing backwards.

What Is The story?

Growing up in a small fishing town in Cornwall, Benjamin Button has always been an outsider. Born as an old man and increasingly getting younger, Button dreams of a life filled with adventure and love. When he meets a local girl called Elowen Keene, Button's wants can finally be realised, but with war looming, will Button get to live out his dream?
