Hunchback: A TCH School of Theatre Performance (performers ages 7-16)
Director/Choreographer: Cara Hampton
Music Director: Matt Richardson
Choreographer: Havilah Gilliland
Stage Manager: Lily Smith
Based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame showcases the film’s Academy Award-nominated score, as well as new songs by Menken and Schwartz. Peter Parnell’s new script embraces story theatre and features verbatim passages from Hugo’s gothic novel.
The musical begins as the bells of Notre Dame sound through the famed cathedral in fifteenth-century Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer who longs to be "Out There," observes all of Paris reveling in the Feast of Fools. Held captive by his devious caretaker, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, he escapes for the day and joins the boisterous crowd, only to be treated cruelly by all but the beautiful Romani woman, Esmeralda. Quasimodo isn’t the only one captivated by her free spirit, though – the handsome Captain Phoebus and Frollo are equally enthralled. As the three vie for her attention, Frollo embarks on a mission to destroy the Roma – and it’s up to Quasimodo to save them all.
A sweeping score and powerful story make The Hunchback of Notre Dame an instant classic. Audiences will be thrilled by this truly unforgettable musical.
**CONTENT ADVISORY** “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” is closely based on the original novel written by Victor Hugo. As such, it includes some mature themes, depictions of violence and a short moment of attempted assault. While none of these scenes have been staged in a gratuitous or particularly graphic way, they may still be disturbing to some audience members.
