Amélie Poulain welcomes you back to the Two Windmills Cafe! The META-nominated production of AMÉLIE: The Musical returns for a limited engagement. Presented by Penumbra Théâtre Pénombre at the Centaur Theatre from August 28th-30th. See you in Paris!

Amélie Poulain 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. Be inspired by this imaginative dreamer who finds her voice, discovers the power of connection, and sees possibility around every corner!

Penumbra Théâtre Pénombre first performed AMÉLIE at the Mainline Theatre in February 2025. The production was nominated for three Montreal English Theatre Awards (Outstanding Independent Production, Outstanding Lead Performance, Outstanding Contribution to Theatre - Puppet Design). In a brand new venue, the team can’t wait to share this exciting new interpretation of AMÉLIE with Montreal audiences!

“Amélie is a show about what brings us together. It teaches us to unlearn the individualism and isolation that is drilled into us from an early age. This is a message with particular valence for the divide between Anglo and Franco arts in the city, one that Adrian [director] hopes to bridge with this show.”

- Warmth and Whimsy: Amélie the Musical comes to Montréal By Misha Nye (from the 2025 production)

AMÉLIE: The Musical opens on August 28, 2026 and runs until August 30, 2026. One weekend only!
