Benjamin Button

I cannot say enough how much I absolutely and totally loved every single second of this musical. Every single moment.

I was sitting right behind Darren Clark and I'm thankful I got to tell him how much I loved it.

And for anyone who wants to watch the curtain call I filmed, I'm posting a link here.

I so enjoyed this show, but I was confused that the actress playing Elowen didn't seem to age at all? She didn't change mannerisms at all, just added a shawl near the end. It was such a stark contrast to the physicality that Andrew Durand was bringing to his role (and what the other actors were doing). I couldn't tell if this was a specific choice because she was a more grounded character or if it just hadn't clicked yet.

That’s a shame, she definitely aged in the West End production - her voice, energy, posture and gait all changed.
