Though she spends most of her time quietly daydreaming, Amélie slowly begins to spread her gift for helping others with small but extraordinary acts of kindness. When she finally gets a chance at happiness and love, she realises she must risk everything and speak loudly about how she really feels.

This screen to stage adaption is beautifully written by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Guillaume Laurant, directed by Michael Fentiman, and features music by Hem’s Daniel Messé, lyrics by Nathan Tysen and Daniel Messé.

Come and be inspired by this imaginative dreamer who finds her voice, discovers the power of connection and sees possibilities around every corner. Although times are hard for dreamers, Amélie is someone to believe in.
