Debutto romano per Amélie il musical, spettacolo ispirato dal celebre film Il favoloso mondo di Amélie del 2001 con Audrey Tautou. Tradotto in italiano da Alessio Fusi da una versione originale con le musiche di Daniel Massé e liriche dello stesso Massé e di Nathan Tysen su un libretto di Craig Lucas, il musical si svolge in una Parigi romantica e affascinante dove la misera esistenza di Amélie, diviene uno spunto di riflessione di bontà e altruismo di cui oggi ci sarebbe molto bisogno.
