Character Break Down
Amélie was written for a small flexible ensemble.
The doubling for the broadway run is listed below (except for Fluffy, that's a change we're making for poetic reasons).
We likely will break the doubling up in most places to include more actors in our ensemble.
But this is a solid place to start.
Amélie - Soprano/ Belter
Young Amélie - can play down to a believable 9 or 10 years old.
Nino/ Fluffy - Pop Bari
Dufayel (Glassman) / Collignon (grocer) - Bari/ Bass
Raphael (Dad)/ Bretodeau (box man) - Baritenor
Amandine (Mom) / Philomene (air hostess) - Mezzo
Suzanne (Cafe owner) - Mezzo
Gina (Waitress) - Soprano
Georgette (Hypocondriac) - Soprano/ Belter
Blind Beggar / Garden Gnome / Anchorperson - Pop Bari
Hipolito (poet)/ Belgian Tourist / Elton John - Tenor, must have excellent falsetto & soul chops
Joseph (Georgette's Stalker) / Collignon's Father - Mostly Spoken, sings with ensemble
Lucien (Asst. Grocer) / Adrien Wells / Mysterious Man - Tenor
Sylvie / Collignon's Mother (Grocer's Mom) - Mostly Spoken, sings with ensemble
