Hold onto your hearts — we’ve got a first listen to some of the songs from the new “Amélie” musical
Get ready to fall in love with the new Broadway musical, Amélie. You may remember the film that the musical is based on. It was nominated for *FIVE* Oscars. Well now, it’s a Broadway musical starring Phillipa Soo (you know, the original Eliza Schuyler from Hamilton!!!) and we’ve got some songs from the Original Broadway Cast Recording for you, right here, right now.
So grab some headphones and get ready to become besties with Amélie! Here’s a quick rundown of your new best friend and what she’s going through in this new musical:
"Amélie is an extraordinary young woman who lives quietly in the world, but loudly in her mind. She covertly improvises small, but surprising acts of kindness that bring joy and mayhem. But when a chance at love comes her way, Amélie realizes that to find happiness she’ll have to risk everything and say what’s in her heart."
*Sigh* Ready to jump in?! We’ve got not one but FIVE songs from the upcoming album — and they’re premiering here first on HelloGiggles! Turn up the volume, because all of them are ?.
