Not sure where to post this comment. I saw a small regional production here in Vancouver twice this weekend (easy when tickets are only $15). It followed the script from the original broadway production. I found it charming, but after reading through the old previews thread from 2017, I see it had all the flaws that made the show flop that year - like the ending which just kind of drops the ball. With this new UK production, I don't like turning Young Amelie into a puppet, & I don't see the need for this go be a 2 &1/2 hour show. But, would still like to see this to compare. Wonder if this version does well, if they will stop licensing the original version?
