The Vitality of Musical Theatre
Big musical theatre shows, such as The Lion King, Matilda, and Wicked, continue to thrive.
In Aotearoa, local and touring shows are popular with audiences, despite the lack of a West End or Broadway.
Amélie the Musical
Amélie the Musical is set to premiere in Australasia in November in Poneke, produced by the alternative musical theatre company Witch.
The show, which first opened on Broadway in 2017 and the West End in 2019, is based on the popular film and tells the story of the beloved mischievous dreamer Amelie Poulain.
Amelie Poulain is being played by Rachel McSweeney in the Wellington production.
Witch has a history of producing a wide range of shows, from classics like Sweeney Todd and Into the Woods to more unconventional productions like Carrie the Musical and an adaptation of Tolstoy's War and Peace.
