AMSTERDAM

Amsterdam is a musical written by Melissa Cardona based on the work of the famous belgian singer and songwriter, Jacques Brel. In 1947, a group of young people including Jef, Madeleine, Casanova, Fanette and Jacques, work together at Vanneste & Brel, the family business. In this industrial setting that awakes their imagination, they like to create songs about the rich people on the pictures they have to frame. Inspired by his friends, Jacques writes a musical to be performed by the students of his class. In the middle of the school year, work and rehearsals, the arrival of a famous impresario will change their life : he will offer a part in his next play, in Paris, to the most talented. Amsterdam is an identity search, displaying the journey young people in music, poetry and humor, at a crossroad ; they will have to choose between love, loyalty and ambition.
