I saw both and really, really enjoyed Amelie. It was really sweet and colorful.

The most exciting part of Tuck Everlasting was when some dust bunnies fell on me during the show and I kept wondering how many rats were in the rafters.

Didn't see Amelie - and I see almost everything.

I was bored silly during Tuck. Couldn't wait for it to be over.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I actually enjoyed Amelie. It's not perfect, and it kind of missed the tone of the movie but it was sweet nonetheless. I still listen to a bit of the cast recording regularly.

Tuck just felt like children's theater.

A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

There's no correlation between quality and run length.

I really enjoyed Amelie. I thought if it had mabye one more workshop or out of town try out it would have been great. It was a nice comfort show after the election.

I enjoy the Tuck everlasting cast album, but the show was tough to sit through. Every single number was a dance number, just let the characters sing their songs we dont need to have dancers doing jumps and spins in the back. Also the book was very bland. I couldnt wait to get out of there.

Amélie is at the top of my list of the worst shows I've seen on Broadway. And as a tremendous fan of Phillipa Soo, it pains me to say that. But I thought it was just so, so bad.

Yes, that was an incomplete thought. What I MEANT to add was something about how fast it came and went, that I never was able to find the time to see it.
