Description:

"What makes a monster and what makes a man?"
This question propels the drama, romance, and suspense of the new musical The Hunchback of Notre Dame, based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney animated feature. Morning in fifteenth-century Paris begins as the bells of Notre Dame sound through the famed gothic cathedral. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer who longs to be out amongst the people, 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 gypsy, 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 gypsies – and it’s up to Quasimodo to save them all. Sweeping music by the acclaimed duo of Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin) and Steven Schwartz (The Prince of Egypt, Wicked) augment this powerful story to make The Hunchback of Notre Dame an instant classic. Audiences will be swept away by this truly unforgettable musical!*

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is CharacterWorks' 2023 summer Masters Camp production, performed by a cast of high school students at the conclusion of a two-week camp.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is planned to be performed at the Perkinson Center for the Arts and Education.

Congratulations to the cast of The Hunchback of Notre Dame!

We greatly enjoyed getting to know you through auditions and callbacks, and we’re looking forward to jumping into camp with you all this summer.

Over the next few months, spend time getting familiar with the material of the show. If you were cast as a character that has lines or solos (which includes Featured Parisians, Featured Gargoyles, and Featured Gypsies), memorize your lines/lyrics to the best of your ability before the first day of camp. If you were cast in one of the three “Featured” ensembles listed above, you will receive an email shortly with your featured line/solo assignments.

As we get closer to camp, be on the lookout for more camp info from Show Director Jacob Filegar. Please wait at least two weeks to contact the artistic team with any audition or callback related questions.

Sincerely,

The Masters Camp Team
