What could be a better theme for this un Broadway musical than in the times of Covid to show kindness to others, and oneself! A musical adaptation of the French film about Amélie Poulain, (the charming Audrey Brisson) a waitress in a Parisian café, who day dreams about making a positive difference to the people around her. The question is whether Amélie can take a risk and show the same kindness to herself as she has shown to others.
