Description:

Seeking performers ages 13 and up for "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" Show. Please see the details below. About the project: 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. Additional info: Every person auditioning will be required to sing approximately 30 bars (about 1 minute) of ANY musical theatre piece. NO CD’S OR ACAPELLA ALLOWED. Remember that your singing audition is ALSO your acting audition. You might be asked to dance a short combination, if needed. Note that a fee will be applied. Please see the attachment. If interested, please apply.

13 roles

Claude FrolloMale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Archdeacon of Notre Dame Cathedral and the most powerful cleric in Paris, he is the reluctant caretaker of Quasimodo. He will do whatever it takes to rid the city of the Roma “vermin,” even as he lusts after Esmeralda. Calculating, manipulative, and obsessive.

Jehan FrolloMale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Claude’s reckless younger brother. With Florika, he fathers Quasimodo, who he leaves in his brother’s care. Wild, passionate, and strong-willed.

QuasimodoFemale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

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. Despite his shyness and uncertainty, he quickly befriends Esmeralda. Big-hearted, and brave when need be.

Clopin TrouillefouMale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

The clever and charismatic King of the Roma. An air of mystery surrounds Clopin, who often leaves the scene in a puff of smoke. As the master of ceremonies for the Feast of Fools, he is witty and playful, but he boasts a darker, serious nature when not performing for the crowd.

Captain Phoebus de MartinMale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Returning to Paris after serving in the war, Phoebus takes up his new position as Captain of the Cathedral Guard. Overconfident yet charming, this handsome, strong soldier makes the ladies swoon, yet his moral compass is also strong, and he openly defies the corrupted Frollo.

Lieutenant Frederic CharlusMale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Lieutenant of the Cathedral Guard and loyal friend to Phoebus.

EsmeraldaFemale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

A beautiful and free-spirited Romani woman 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.

King of France, nicknamed the Prudent.

TribunalMale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities
