Twenty years ago, the world fell in love with a quirky young woman by the name of Amélie Poulain. The French waitress stuck in her own little universe slowly starts to help people find their happiness, finally reaching hers. The stone-skipping and crème brûlée-cracking character played by Audrey Tautou immediately charmed her way into popular culture and by 2015 Daniel Messé, Nathan Tysen, and Craig Lucas had adapted Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s beloved film into a stage musical with Samantha Barks and Phillippa Soo both taking the titular role at separate times in the US.
This week marked the official opening for the West End premiere of Amélie (which began preview performances at the Criterion Theatre on May 20), so we sent our very own @WestEndReporter Tom Hayden Millward to chat to the show's leading lady, Grammy & Olivier Award nominee Audrey Brisson.
