THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME Comes to The Belmont Theatre
Performances run June 16-18 and 22-25.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame showcases the animated film’s Academy Award-nominated score, as well as new songs by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz. Peter Parnell’s new book 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.
Audiences will be swept away by the magic of this moving musical including the iconic songs such as Out There, God Bless the Outcasts and more. The show features a large choir, a two story set and a talented cast of over 40 members with elaborate costumes.
