    I can see why it's closing

    by MarcyMoose on 5/23/17

    Amelie is my favorite movie. This being said, I'm obviously very critical of it. The comedy was too forced and it relied too heavily on the draw of Phillipa. The role really wasn't right for her, it just really didn't work

    Amazing and feel good show

    by Karenmoore5225 on 5/23/17

    This was a beautiful little theater with the feel good play of the year performing in it. The stage was simple and perfect, the singing and acting had us wanting to move along and the feel good, take away message was perfect for all ages!

    "Amelie" was amazing!

    by Kfried on 5/23/17

    I am so heartbroken that this amazing show has closed. I saw it on Saturday night (May 20th), and it was beautiful! Phillipa Soo is such a gifted performer! Her voice is spectacular, and she is a gifted actress. I loved seeing her as Amelie--loved seeing how she incorporated comedy into the character too. I can't wait to see what is ahead for her--she is a brilliant performer. The rest of the cast was fantastic too. And the set was incredible! The soundtrack is fabulous as well. This show was magical, and though it ended too soon, it shined brightly its its run.

    Amelie was amazing...

    by SSandi33 on 5/23/17

    We greatly enjoyed Amelie!! What a lovely adaptation of the movie. The songs were well written, as was the dialog. Amelie appeals to theatergoers of all ages. I saw the play with my MIL, teenage niece and her friend.

    Amelie was fantastic!

    by jaxiree on 5/21/17Walter Kerr Theatre - New York

    The show was so entertaining, thoroughly enjoyed it. The cast created a beautiful mosaic of characters and music. The scenery was amazing and so creative. It is very sad that this show has closed so soon after opening, the negative reviews were unjust. I am so glad I had the chance to see it just days before it closed.

    Better than expected

    by OccasionalTheatrgoer on 5/21/17Walter Kerr Theatre - New York

    While the play's runtime in theaters was unfortunately cut short, this play was enjoyable and well performed. My girlfriend loved the movie so she had to see the play despite mediocre critical reviews. We agreed that the the piece was lighthearted and completely worth it. And the cast was all top notch.

    Enchanting!

    by Guygabriel on 5/19/17Walter Kerr Theatre - New York

    My wife and I loved it! It's so sad that it's closing so soon. Phillipa Soo and the rest of the cast were just great! The sets, the music... everything was really fantastic. The lyrics to the songs were very clever and funny. I was really worried after I read the reviews, but I think they were unfairly comparing it to the movie which was a disservice. We really enjoyed it!

    Amalie was amazing!

    by Anonymous on 5/17/17Walter Kerr Theatre - New York

    This production was done very well. Having seen the foreign film many years ago, my husband and I have always remembered it. It's a shame it has to end. If they show the movie on TV, more people would understand the story and go to see it!

    Magical journey

    by Shelsun on 5/17/17Walter Kerr Theatre - New York

    Sad that the public will miss this imaginative hopeful story. I think it's an important story especially during these difficult times.

    Use Your Imagination!

    by BroadwayFan2983 on 5/14/17Walter Kerr Theatre - New York

    It's quite a shame that Amelie is closing on Broadway soon, because it was a delight to watch the hardworking cast and hear Phillipa Soo sing her heart out. Admittedly, I can understand the musical may be hard to absorb if you haven't watched the French film prior to the musical. The film itself is very odd and quirky, and for the most part was translated quite well into this musical format. The songs were melodic and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the imaginative story unfold on stage. My advice for the day: watch the film first and then buy tickets to go see Amelie on Broadway before it disappears into the ether!

    A sweet musical, a little unconventional

    by Bratsmom on 5/14/17Walter Kerr Theatre - New York

    My daughter and I attend many musicals and, in fact, attended 3 the weekend we saw Amelie. The story and the music are a little disjointed, basically, vignettes held together with a common theme. There was no common theme to the music though, and each piece was new and novel for the vignette it represented. That is probably a problem for most American audiences, but if you know that it is not going to be a typical show, it probably plays much better. Phillipa Soo was perfectly cast; the younger version of Amelie did a great job. But for the fact that it was not a conventional story, it held together well and had a well-balanced cast.

    Amalie 10 May 2017

    by SoonToBeEmptyNesters on 5/13/17Walter Kerr Theatre - New York

    We really loved the show, although it many respects it differed from the film. I'd like to buy the soundtrack when it comes out on June 9. The character of Amalie is more psychologically damaged in the musical, but her triumph over misery is therefore amplified. I particularly liked the metaphor of Zeno's paradox, which was not in the film, and how it related to Amalie's isolation. The sets were brilliant and the singing superb (of course). I'd be happy to see it again with friends or if it tours my hometown (Philly).
