This fully-staged production of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” will feature a cast of 34 Asheboro High School students, including Alec Schoenberger as Quasimodo, Olivia Hydzik as Esmeralda, Chris Salinas as Archdeacon Claude Frollo, and Jacob Strider as Captain Phoebus. The production will also feature a collaboration with a volunteer adult chorus of 24 community members under the direction of Gwen Hall. The artistic staff for the musical includes Phil Homiller, Nicole Peters, Meredith Mormann, and Suzanne Benhart and licensing is secured through Music Theater International of New York, NY. Asheboro High School will be the first North Carolina school of any kind to perform this musical.
Composer Alan Menken (The Little
Mermaid, Aladdin) and lyricist Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pocahontas, Godspell)
have taken many of the songs from the Disney film of 1996 and created a new
production with additional songs and a new storyline that adheres more closely
to the original novel. The musical tells the story of the hunchback
Quasimodo, his guardian Frollo, the gypsy Esmeralda, and the captain of the
Cathedral Guard, Phoebus de Martin. Their paths, combined with the
dramatic elements of love, obsession, forgiveness, comedy, betrayal, and
heroism result in an emotionally powerful and ultimately tragic
conclusion. Featuring some of the most beautiful music ever written for
the stage, this musical has something for almost everyone, although it is not
recommended for children under the age of 10.
