Amelie
I really hope London audiences will be enchanted by our little Parisian Tale. Amelie is a show about making connections, the simple acts of kindness that pull people closer

Why see Amelie?
Amelie On The West End!
Following its stellar run at The Other Palace in 2019, the utterly-unique Amelie will be transferring to the West End this May. Directed by Micheal Fentiman and featuring folk-inspired music by Daniel Messe, lyrics by Nathan Tysen and a book by Craig Lucas, Amelie stars Audrey Bisson as the titular ingenue, reprising the role after a sell-out UK tour.
What Is Amelie About?
Amelie is the story of a young woman who has built a whole imaginary world around her to deal with her loneliness, being the only child of eccentric and over protective parents. When she leaves home to become a waitress, her fantasies are projected onto the streets of Paris as she sets about touching peoples lives with her sweet, but sometimes misguided schemes in an attempt to spread kindness. One day she discovers a mysterious photo album and the resulting adventure changes her life forever. Romantic and joyful with moments of hilarious mayhem this is a story of love, connections and staying true to yourself, no matter what.
