Many of the talented cast play multiple parts seamlessly. One of the special things about the show for me, was the hard-working actor musicians. With a book by Craig Lucas, the musical sticks closely to the film and in many ways is less sugary-sweet and more fun than the original screen-play. Amélie has been adapted for the stage by a fantastic team of writers and directors.
AMELIE THE MUSICAL FULL
The film is known for being full of whimsy and the musical delivers this and more. Amélie decides to help others in their quests for happiness, but can her own loneliness and unwillingness to interact with others be overcome? After the early death of her Mother, Amélie is brought up by her emotionally distant Father, who has attached all his emotions to a garden gnome.Īs a young woman, Amélie escapes to bon Paris and although she makes acquaintances, she is still very much alone until she finds a long forgotten box which will send her life in a different direction entirely. Isolated and lonely, Amélie’s only childhood friend is a goldfish….who we later say ‘au revoir’ to. Brought up by neurotic and unusual parents, Amélie’s father (Jez Unwin) misdiagnoses a heart condition and her mother (Rachel Dawson) decides Amélie is too delicate to be in contact with others. And it does this with gusto, whimsy and fabulous savoir faire.Īmélie tells the story of young Amélie Poulain (played fabulously by Audrey Brisson). Amélie The Musical has the unenviable task of bringing the award winning French film Amélie (or, to give it its full name, Le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain) to life.
