Amélie the Musical

Based on the critically acclaimed 2001 romantic comedy, Amélie is a rarely performed, whimsical musical that has charmed audiences from Berkeley Rep to Broadway and the West End.

This latest incarnation blends the very best elements of its previous productions into a fresh, imaginative retelling.

The show was nominated for three Laurence Olivier Awards in 2020, including Best New Musical and Best Actress in a Musical, and its cast album received a Grammy nomination for Best Musical Theatre Album in 2021.Set in 1997 Paris, the story follows Amélie Poulain – a shy, curious young woman who is inspired by recent world events to make the world a little brighter by secretly devoting herself to small acts of kindness for the people around her.

Raised by two anxious, emotionally distant parents, Amélie has always struggled to form real connections and often retreats into elaborate fantasies.

But everything shifts when she meets Nino, a gentle outsider who collects discarded photos from Metro photobooths.

Amélie may have found a kindred spirit… but can two people who live in isolation truly meet “Halfway”? As the narrators around her are quietly transformed by her actions, the musical reminds us that we are all connected in ways we rarely notice or understand.Fans of the original film (which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year) will adore this stage adaptation featuring a gorgeous score performed by a live eight piece band and an ensemble cast of over 30 people.From a philosophical singing goldfish to conquering Zeno’s Paradox, Amélie is a quirky, often surreal celebration of kindness, courage, and the quiet magic of human connection.

We hope our audiences will leave heart-filled and inspired to do a few random acts of kindness of their own.They say “Times are Hard For Dreamers” so don’t miss your chance to see it – book your tickets today.
