Singing Opportunities in "Amelie" Production
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ADMITTED. Seeking singers for musical "Amelie". Please, see the details below. About the musical: Amélie is a young, inventive, but shy young woman in 1990s Paris who lives vividly and happily inside her own imagination, as she secretly improvises small acts of mischief and kindness for those around her. But when she discovers a mysterious box under the floorboards of her apartment, it sets off a chain of events that will change her life forever – and when a kindred soul crosses her path, Amélie realises she’ll need to move beyond the lonely isolation of her youth and allow herself to be truly seen. Lovingly adapted from the iconic Oscar-nominated movie that captivated audiences at TIFF 25 years ago, Amélie follows an imaginative young woman who quietly transforms the lives of everyone around her while discovering the courage to change her own. Magical, romantic, and brimming with heart, Amélie is a celebration of the small moments and unexpected connections that can change everything.
