Breakdown

DISNEY’S THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME

SEEKING:

[ QUASIMODO ] CAST. Male-identified character, 20s-30s. The deformed bell-ringer of Notre Dame and Claude Frollo’s charge. Lonely and staunchly obedient to Frollo, he possesses a vivid imagination that brings to life the bells and gargoyles of the cathedral. Despite his shyness and uncertainty, he quickly befriends Esmeralda. Big-hearted, and brave when need be. Vocal range: Bb2–Bb4.

[ DOM CLAUDE FROLLO ] CAST. Male-identified character, 40s-50s. Archdeacon of Notre Dame Cathedral and the most powerful cleric in Paris, he is the reluctant caretaker of Quasimodo. He will do whatever it takes to rid the city of the Roma “vermin,” even as he lusts after Esmeralda. Calculating, manipulative, and obsessive. Vocal range: E2–D4.

[ ESMERELDA ] Female-identified character, 20s-30s. A beautiful and free-spirited Romani woman who possesses the strong sense of justice and morality that Frollo lacks. Compassionate, she frees Quasimodo from the frenzied mob at the Feast of Fools and, against her better judgment, falls for the cocky Phoebus. Vocal range: Eb3–Db5.

[ CAPTAIN PHOEBUS DE MARTIN ] Male-identified character, mid-20s-40s. Returning to Paris after serving in the war, Phoebus takes up his new position as Captain of the Cathedral Guard. Overconfident yet charming, this handsome, strong soldier makes the ladies swoon, yet his moral compass is also strong, and he openly defies the corrupted Frollo. Vocal range: Ab2–Ab4.

[ CLOPIN TROUILLEFOU ] Male-identified character, 30s-40s. The clever and charismatic King of the Roma. An air of mystery surrounds Clopin, who often leaves the scene in a puff of smoke. As the master of ceremonies for the Feast of Fools, he is witty and playful, but he boasts a darker, serious nature when not performing for the crowd. Vocal range: C3–G4.

[ ENSEMBLE SINGERS & DANCERS ] Seeking a diverse ensemble of talented, well-rounded singers and dancers. There are various roles that will need to be assigned, as well as covers for principal roles, and also swings. Below are some of the ensemble roles that will be in consideration:

[ JEHAN FROLLO ] Male-identified character, 20s-30s. Claude’s reckless younger brother. With Florika, he fathers Quasimodo, who he leaves in his brother’s care. Wild, passionate, and strong-willed. Vocal range: G#2–Eb4.

[ FLORIKA ] Female-identified character, 20s-30s. A Romani woman and Quasimodo’s mother. Vocal range: C#4–F5.

[ FATHER DUPIN ] Male-identified character, 40s-60s. A priest of Notre Dame and Claude and Jehan’s guardian. Vocal range: C4–A4.

[ LIEUTENANT FEDERIC CHARLUS ] Male-identified character, 20s-30s. Lieutenant of the Cathedral Guard and loyal friend to Phoebus.

[ KING LOUIS XI ] Male-identified character, 40s-50s. King of France, nicknamed the Prudent.

[ TRIBUNAL ] Male-identified character, 20s-50s. A judicial officer. Vocal range: G2–E4.

[ MADAM ] Female-identified character, mid-30s-50s. Owner of a brothel and safe haven for the Roma.

[ SAINT APHRODISIUS ] Male-identified character, 30s-50s. A stained-glass image that comes to life. Vocal range: B2–E4.

[ CONGREGATION MEMBERS ] An ensemble of storytellers who portray various ROMANI, GARGOYLES, STATUES, SOLDIERS, REVELERS, PARISHIONERS, PRIESTS, PROSTITUTES and CITIZENS of Paris.
