Overview

The licensed version of Amélie reflects script and music changes from the West End production while retaining the Broadway instrumentation. Many arrangements come from the West End production while some are retained from Broadway. Please purchase a perusal for further information.

Amélie is an extraordinary young woman who lives quietly in the world but loudly in her mind. She covertly improvises small but surprising acts of kindness that bring joy and mayhem. But when a chance at love comes her way, Amélie realizes that to find happiness she’ll have to risk everything and say what’s in her heart. Be inspired by this imaginative dreamer who finds her voice, discovers the power of connection, and sees possibility around every corner.
