SHOW INFORMATION
Based on Victor Hugo’s timeless novel and the beloved animated film, THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME is a powerful musical journey of love, acceptance, and the courage to stand against injustice. In the shadows of Paris’ iconic cathedral, Quasimodo, the gentle bell-ringer hidden away from the world, longs for connection and freedom beyond the walls he knows. When he befriends the compassionate Esmeralda, their lives become intertwined with the forces of kindness, cruelty, and compassion that shape their city.
Featuring a soaring score, unforgettable characters, and a story that celebrates the strength found in empathy and acceptance, The Hunchback of Notre Dame invites audiences to look beyond appearances and discover the beauty within us all.
RECOMMENDED AUDIENCE: Ages 10+
