Amelie

London Premiere

This Christmas the Other Palace lay on a delectable treat in the form of this vibrant musical adaptation of the five-time Oscar-nominated 2001 indie film. Charming, witty and utterly unique, Amelie takes us on a fantastical ride into the imagination of an extraordinary young woman, making the most of her ordinary life as a Parisian waitress. A perfect escape from the world and its troubles, this is one glorious show that'll wake up the dreamer in all of us.

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.
