"The Hunchback of Notre Dame" Play Seeks Teenagers

Jackson, MI, United States
ID: 583844Exp: 4/21/2025
Description:

Looking for performers ages 16+ singers (at least four of each SATB vocal part—Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass) in which the time commitment is less significant. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. 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 Alan Menken and Stephen 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 15th 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—both 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: *Please be prepared to sing a one-minute song of a similar nature and wear clothes and shoes you are comfortable in to dance. *You only need to attend one night of auditions. Show dates are June 20, 21, 22, 27, 28 & 29. Rehearsals will typically be on Sundays through Thursdays from 6:30 - 9:00 pm. If interested, please apply.

CHORAL ENSEMBLE (CHOIR)Both genders16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

will be a separate ensemble from the Congregation. Although the two overlap within songs, this particular group should be comprised of skilled singers who are comfortable with a variety of musical styles, ranging from Gregorian chant to contemporary pop. They present as a group that remains outside the dramatic action, so they will not need to learn any choreography or blocking. The Choir will be able to hold the music on the second level of the stage while singing. Choral experience is a plus.
