Changes to limits on capacity and lifting of social distancing requirements for seating - how this works

Performances from 20th July will no longer be socially distanced as the limit on capacity and social distancing rules have been lifted. You can now select seats directly from the seating plan and are no longer limited to a maximum group of six.


There are certain seating areas, such as sitting in a box or in dress circle slip seats which will naturally continue to be a socially distanced option if this is your preference. To find out about these seats or for more information on the move to fuller capacity without social distancing, please contact our box office team on 020 7839 8811 or email boxoffice@criterion-theatre.co.uk

Amélie

Times are hard for dreamers but Amélie is someone to believe in.


Hartshorn Hook Productions, Selladoor Worldwide and Broadway Asia Company present Amélie The Musical.



Following a critically acclaimed and sell out tour in 2019, a Grammy® nomination and 3 Olivier Award nominations, Amélie The Musical arrives in the heart of the West End. The much loved five time Oscar® nominated film is brought to life by a cast of astonishingly talented actor musicians and set to a critically acclaimed re orchestrated score.

Amélie, played by the delightful, Olivier Award nominated Audrey Brisson (The Elephantom, Pinocchio and Pericles (National Theatre), The Grinning Man (Bristol Old Vic)), secretly improvises small, but extraordinary acts of kindness discovering the possibilities around every corner and bringing happiness to those she encounters. When a chance at love comes her way, Amélie realises that to find her own contentment she’ll have to risk everything and say what’s in her heart.

Experience this beautiful story and be inspired by this imaginative dreamer who discovers her voice, uncovers the power of human connection and sees possibility around every corner.
