Performers Sought for "The Hunchback of Notre Dame!" Show
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Searching for performers for "The Hunchback of Notre Dame!" show. See the details below. About the show: Based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame showcases the film’s Academy Award-nominated score, as well as new songs by Menken and Schwartz. Peter Parnell’s new book embraces story theatre and features verbatim passages from Hugo’s gothic novel. The musical begins as the bells of Notre Dame sound through the famed cathedral in fifteenth-century Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer who longs to be "Out There," observes all of Paris reveling in the Feast of Fools. Held captive by his devious caretaker, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, he escapes for the day and joins the boisterous crowd, only to be treated cruelly by all but the beautiful Romani woman, Esmeralda. Quasimodo isn’t the only one captivated by her free spirit, though – the handsome Captain Phoebus and Frollo are equally enthralled. As the three vie for her attention, Frollo embarks on a mission to destroy the Roma – and it’s up to Quasimodo to save them all. Rate: Non-Equity and Non-Paying. Additional information: Prepare 2 - 3 minute video excerpts from two contrasting songs. Call Backs will be decided on a case by case basis, and each person will be contacted individually. In this case, expect to prepare an assigned excerpt from the show. All actors chosen will be expected to arrive at rehearsals with music and lines prepared. Rehearsals will be predominantly spent working on music rather than teaching. Show Date: March 22, 23 2024. Rehearsal Dates are: December 11 2023. January 15, 29 2024. February 12, 20, 26 2024.
