Amelie Review Glasgow Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (2026)
Amelie
What a joy of a musical, based on the beloved film Amelie, the RCS bring this epic fanciful musical to the stage.
Amelie a young woman unsure of her own direction in life, left to venture in to the city
of Paris by her father who became even more distant after her mother's death. She spends her time fixing her friends problematic love life's. Unable to confront the boy she is drawn to.
With some wonderful dream sequences, singing fish, gnomes and Elton John appearing to serenade her. The dance sequence in this is out of this world, who knew a full size working piano could be so graceful!
Every member of cast was excellent to watch along side stand out performances from Amelie, her Partner, the Cafe Owner and Green Grocer.
Tom Cooper directs this huge scale production, all the performers are Actor Musicians singing dancing and playing many different instruments each. The choreography is skillfully mastered by Sarah Wilkie.
The mammoth design undertaking was done by student Emma Cox who captures the Parisian atmosphere in the cafe sets, and the movement of the landscapes with movable doors and set pieces.
Tom has created a production that will be remembered in the hallowed walls of the Antheneum for years to come.
