The Story:
The musical The Hunchback of Notre Dame is set in Paris in 1482 and follows the hideously deformed Quasimodo, the bell ringer of Notre Dame Cathedral, as he escapes from his caretaker and joins the crowd celebrating the Feast of Fools. Quasimodo is treated cruelly by most people, but befriends the beautiful dancer, Esmeralda. Meanwhile, Quasimodo’s caretaker becomes obsessed with Esmeralda and sets out to destroy her people. It’s up to Quasimodo to save them all.
The bold theatrics, combined with the music’s orchestral power and choral beauty provided by a thirty-two member choir that accompanies the cast, promise to transport audiences back to fifteenth century Paris and inside the cathedral walls made famous by Victor Hugo’s novel. It’s an epic tale of hope, love and passion, with book by Peter Parnell, music by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, soars to life in this emotionally charged retelling of the celebrated classic.
