Amelie - 2017 Broadway History , Info & More

Walter Kerr Theatre (Broadway)
219 West 48th St. New York, NY

Tony nominee Phillipa Soo returns to Broadway in AMELIE, a new musical based on the beloved five-time Oscar-nominated film, and "an enchanting act of theatrical reinvention" (The Los Angeles Times).



Amelie 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 to those around her. But when a chance at love comes her way, Amelie realizes that to find happiness she'll have to risk everything and say what's in her heart. Come be inspired by this imaginative dreamer who finds her voice, discovers the power of connection and sees possibility around every corner. In these uncertain times, Amelie is someone to believe in.



Directed by Tony winner Pam MacKinnon (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?), with a book by Pulitzer Prize and Tony nominee Craig Lucas (The Light in the Piazza) and an original score by Daniel Messe and Nathan Tysen, AMELIE "proves that the world is better when we're all in it together" (Paste Magazine).

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Amelie

CHARACTER FAULT Wow, ‘Amélie’ Is Annoying on Broadway
4 / 10

Even if you haven't seen the 2001 film, there are grave impediments to enjoying this show. You may well raise your eyebrows at the moment Amélie takes it upon herself to 'help' a blind man, but removing his cane from him, throwing his beggar's cup away, and totally disorientating him by swirling him past a new set of urban landmarks. Then she leaves him stranded, a new world that she is introducing him to. It's supposed to be charming. It looks horrifying.

Phillipa Soo glows in Broadway’s so-so ‘Amélie’: theater review
7 / 10

The Broadway musical adaptation at the Walter Kerr Theatre is simply pleasant - at least when it isn't plodding. As for the City of Light - virtually all signs of Frenchness are gone in director Pam MacKinnon's staging. Why even bother with an accent in the title?

BWW Review: Pam MacKinnon and Phillipa Soo Make AMELIE Flippantly Free-Spirited Fun
by Michael Dale - April 5, 2017


"Bursting with joy" isn't exactly a phrase commonly used to describe the exceptional directorial work of Pam MacKinnon. The woman who guided the premiere of Bruce Norris' tensely comic CLYBOURNE PARK and gobsmacked audiences with a freshly destructive vision of Edward Albee's WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? is better known for drawing out dramatic shades than working with whimsy.
