Based on Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s classic film, "Amélie" is a fanciful comedy about a young waitress who discretely orchestrates the lives of the people around her, creating a world exclusively of her own making while capturing the exquisite charm and mystery of modern-day Paris through the eyes of a beautiful ingenue. The musical premiered at Berkeley Repertory Theatre starring Samantha Barks, where it played a critically acclaimed, sold-out run, then opened on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre with Tony-nominee Phillipa Soo in the titular role.

A subsequent, substantially transformed production, with new orchestrations, an expanded repertoire of songs, and new staging in the actor/muso style, opened on the West End, where The Guardian described it as "a triumph of adaptation" and it received three Olivier Award nominations, including Best New Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Actress (for Audrey Brisson). Amelie continues to play in territories around the world, from Los Angeles to Japan, Germany, the UK, Finland, Australia, and The Netherlands.
