“The entire show, she’s just trying to figure out how to make these connections, even though she’s so used to being alone. “She was never taught how to connect with people,” Bailey said. Bailey said she wanted the role because she related to Amélie’s introverted nature. Granbury senior Kaitlyn Bailey is performing the lead role of Amélie in the production. Subtle views of her facial expressions tell everything you need to know but you can’t do that in the play.
“The character Amelie in the movie doesn’t say very much,” Nordgren said. Nordgren said the show is different from the movie due to moving the film from the screen to the stage and making it a musical. It requires you to use your imagination.” “Because it doesn’t have a traditional musical plot structure, you don’t really know how or what’s going to happen. “It is written more like a play than a traditional musical,” Nordgren said. Nordgren also said she liked how “Amélie” doesn’t follow the typical structure of a musical. Nordgren said the constant movement and visual storytelling of the musical spoke to her due to her background in musical theater and dance choreography. New York, NY graduate student Cassie Nordgren is the director of the show, which is part of her thesis for her master’s degree in directing. She begins helping various people and along the way, falls in love for the first time. The musical follows Amelie, a shy and sheltered girl living in Paris, as she begins to forge connections with people for the first time in her life. “ Amélie” is a musical based on the 2001 French-language film of the same name. 9 and tickets can be purchased online through Baylor Theatre’s website.
