Seeking Teens for "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" Show
Teens sought for "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" Show. See the details below. About the project: 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. If you are interested, please apply.
19 roles
Lead, Baritone. Archdeacon of Notre Dame Cathedral and the most powerful cleric in Paris, he is the reluctant caretaker of Quasimodo. Though he is smart and shows some compassion toward Quasimodo and his brother, Jehan. His obsession with Esmeralda tortures him to the point of madness, and he lets nothing and no one stand in his way.
Lead, Tenor. The deformed bell-ringer of Notre Dame and Claude Frollo’s charge. Lonely and staunchly obedient to Frollo, he possesses a vivid imagination that brings to life. The bells and gargoyles of the cathedral are his escape. Despite his shyness and uncertainty, he quickly befriends Esmeralda. Big-hearted, and brave when need be.
Lead, Mezzo. A beautiful and free-spirited gypsy who possesses the strong sense of justice and morality that Frollo lacks. Compassionate, she frees Quasimodo from the frenzied mob at the Feast of Fools and, against her better judgment, falls for the cocky Phoebus.
Supporting, Tenor/Baritone. Jehan Frollo is Claude’s reckless younger brother. He has been spoiled all his life and is lazy and greedy as a result. With the gypsy Florika, he fathers Quasimodo, who he leaves in his brother’s care. Wild, passionate, and strong-willed.
Supporting, Tenor/Baritone. The clever and charismatic King of the Gypsies. An air of mystery surrounds Clopin, who often leaves the scene in a puff of smoke.

Supporting, Tenor/Baritone. Returning to Paris after serving in the war, Phoebus takes up his new position as Captain of the Cathedral Guard.
