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 isnt 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 its up to Quasimodo to save
them all. A sweeping score and powerful story make The Hunchback of
Notre Dame an instant classic. Audiences will be swept away by the
magic of this truly unforgettable musical.
