Sorry it took me so long to get back with you! Yes, it ran about an hour and 45 mins and was done without an intermission.

Hah, had no idea they made a musical! I loved the movie, would be interested to see the musical. Is the music still based on Yann Tiersen? No, I don't want to read the SF review, will be like a spoiler to me :)

SoCal folks are lucky! LA's Center Theatre Group is producing it next before a tentative B'way transfer in the Spring of 2017. I really wish I could see it again.

Re: Amelie musical at Berkeley Rep
I saw it last night and found it quirky as is the movie. During the show a lot of the songs continue into dialog and start into a new song without stopping for applause. The small cast was amazing and the sets and costumes were charming. The Ahmanson Theater is too big of a theater for this production and I hope it lands in an intimate house in New York. Phillipa Soo of Hamilton fame played the tile character.
