Cast members include Christopher Hager, Max DeSantis, recently on the Broadway National Tour of "The Addams Family," and more.
SKYPAC has revealed the full cast for Ramsey Theatre Company's production of Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, happening June 26, 27, and 28. This timeless tale, based on Victor Hugo's epic novel and the beloved Disney animated feature, is a sweeping musical journey you won't want to miss experiencing in person.
This cast of thirty-four, plus a choir of twenty, features performers with experience in New York City, on Broadway National Tours, and on stages across the country and region. The production also highlights familiar faces from Ramsey Theatre Company productions, while Orchestra Kentucky takes its place of honor in the Robin and David Ciochetty Orchestra Pit.
This musical features music by Alan Menken ("Beauty and the Beast", "Little Mermaid", "Little Shop of Horrors") and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz ("Wicked", "Godspell", "Pippin") and is based on the 1996 animated Disney classic film.
Multi-Dove award and Grammy award winning songwriter Mr. Dick Tunney will be Music Directing and conducting Orchestra Kentucky.
Choreography will be led by Jake Dukes, Ramsey Theatre Company veteran ("Cinderella", "Grease") and recent alumnus of Western Kentucky University's Dance program. Jake was the Associate Choreographer for last year's blockbuster Ramsey Theatre Company production of the "Wizard of Oz". "What I am looking forward to the most is getting to see my vision come to life and getting to fully experience the storytelling process as a choreographer," said Choreographer Jake Dukes.
