BWW Review: THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME at Göteborgsoperan
When a musical is as good as the 'Hunchback at Notre Dame' at the Operahouse in Gothenburg it is hard to know where to begin. Anyone I knew who had seen it before has said it is outstanding so my expectations were quite high and everything and more was actually fulfilled....
