Lyrics by Nathan Tysen & Daniel Messé
Based on the motion picture Amélie written by Jean-Pierre Jeunet & Guillaume Laurant
Magical, romantic, and brimming with heart, Amelie brings Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s five-time Oscar-nominated film to the stage with humour and imagination. The show follows Amélie, an inventive but shy young woman who lives vividly inside her own imagination, as she secretly improvises small acts of mischief and kindness for those around her, so she can be her own Parisian Lady Di. When a kindred soul a crossed her path, Amélie realises she’ll need to move beyond the lonely isolation of her youth and allow herself to be truly seen.
Focusing on the theatricality and imagination of this beautiful production, the creative team want to focus on creating an immersive world that the audience and the cast can feel lost in. This is a show that speaks straight to the heart and we are hoping to build together a cast who can bring their own full hearts to the project.
