ABOUT THE SHOW
Based on Victor Hugo’s novel and the Disney animated film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a visually stunning and emotionally resonant musical featuring one of the most ambitious choral scores in musical theatre. We will be partnering with community choirs from across the region to fill out this choral sound from the wings. No roles are pre-cast.
