Music by ALAN MENKEN • Lyrics by STEPHEN SCHWARTZ • Book by PETER PARNELL
Based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney film
Originally Developed by Disney Theatrical Productions
From Victor Hugo’s 1830s gothic novel, black & white films of the 1930s and the animated Disney film of 1996 comes a tragic, yet hopeful story of Quasimodo. Banished to live as the bell ringer in the Notre Dame tower in Paris because of his physical deformities, he lives as an outcast. One day he ventures outside, declaring “If I picked a day to fly, this would be it!” but is ridiculed by everyone except the lovely Esmerelda, who pleads for mercy towards Quasimodo (“God Help the Outcasts”). The Academy Award-nominated score by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz, supported by the hauntingly rich voices of Missoula-area choirs, will bring this powerful story to life. Quasimodo’s struggle for acceptance and love may find him to be an unlikely hero. Disney is gifted at showing the darker side of humanity mixed with compassion and hope in this unforgettable musical.
