Phillipa Soo to lead AMELIE on Broadway — Page 6

I just know one or two of these new musicals are going to get lost this spring, even with good reviews. I'm afraid AMELIE might be one of them.

Not only that, but there are so many similar quirky fantasy-ish (not necessarily in the material/theme, but in the design) musicals out there that have already gained much more traction (Natasha Pierre) or are contemporary classics (Anastasia and Charlie and the Chcocolate Factory).

They really should delay it till next season, but oh well.

Tickets are now on Ticketmaster.  Looks like there are bunch still being held back.

I can't add another show to my week long stay in April, so I'm planning a trip back in June/July. What're the chances of Adam and Phillipa taking a vacation because of the Tony frenzy and then taking 4th of July week off? I'm trying to figure out when would be the safest time to come back 

They look like raspberries to me

I know nothing about the story of Amelie do the Raspberry's have to do with the story ?

Amelie puts them on her fingers as a whimsical, playful gesture before she eats them one by one.  In the Berkeley Rep production, child Amelie definitely had them on her fingers.  Adult Amelie probably did too but I don't remember it specifically.  Here's a clip from the movie:

We have a long way to go in terms of Asian American/Asian representation, but the last few years have been better.

I saw this in early stages at Berkeley Rep. I think they still have a lot of overall story/structural work to do before it's ready for Broadway. Hopefully, a lot of it gets worked out in L.A.

The Los Angeles Times reviewed it when it was at Berkeley and raved, so I imagine it will rave about it when it plays in LA. This could be one of those shows that sort of sneaks up on us and becomes a surprise hit, especially with Soo now in the lead role. I could even see it as a possible Tony nominee (NOT winner) in what I assume will come down to a horse race between Comet and DEH. 

I saw it at Berkeley with Sam Barks and I will be in LA later this month to see it again.

I am planning to see a Thursday matinee so I'm a little worried that Phillipa might be out.  I know she was absent quite a bit towards the end of her run in Hamilton but does anyone know what her attendance was like when Hamilton was in previews last year?  The show isn't too vocally demanding and it would literally be the 3rd week so barring illness, etc, I am thinking I should be fine.
