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 remarkable new songs and music and is the only stage collaboration between two legendary masters of American musical theatre, Alan Menken (Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast) and Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin). North’s premiere production features a cast, crew, and orchestra of more than 100 students as well an elaborate set depicting 15th century Paris, including a set of custom made cathedral bells, stunning special effects, and breathtaking original costumes. This daring and moving production sets the classic tale of love, vengeance, and compassion to one of the most sweeping scores ever written for the stage. North theatre director, Ron Parker, states, “We are so incredibly honored to be able to present the Wisconsin premiere of this new musical. There have only been a handful of professional productions performed in the United States. In fact, North was given rights to the show before it was even officially released to amateur groups! It is an amazing opportunity to bring this incredible work to our state. The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of the most powerful and meaningful musicals ever created for the theatre. Besides the amazing music and captivating staging, its message of love over hate, courage over fear, and the acceptance of those who are different than ourselves makes this truly a musical for our times.”
