Rick Grant’s stellar portrayal (of Turing) is breathtaking. Mr. Grant expertly pivots between a university-age Turing to a more adult Turing and back again without issue.

‘Amélie: The Musical’ is as warm as the coming spring and as limitless as the stars. The zaniness of the show is entertaining, but the heart of the story is what truly makes this a sublime time spent at the theatre.
At its heart, ‘Amelie the Musical’ celebrates the beauty of life’s simple pleasures and the importance of connection. Through Amelie’s journey, we are reminded that even the quietest voices have the power to make a difference.
