Rentaholic2 said: "Amelie was significantly reworked for its UK premiere, and I believe that is the version of the show that is now licensed. The score was modified quite significantly and largely re-orchestrated, and I think it's just wonderful. I haven't seen the show, but just by comparing thecast albums, it seems they really cracked the code on it in London. It would be great if the show one day got another chance in New York with the revised version."
The licensed version uses the rewrites from the UK production, but retains the Broadway orchestration.
I agree, the UK production is like a whole new show, it's gorgeous.
