OBSERVER: Hunchback of Notre Dame
The bells are ringing in Notre Dame – Quasimodo is out of the shadows and taking centre stage in CLOC Musical Theatre’s production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, being presented May 15-30 at the National Theatre, St Kilda.
High above the streets of Paris, Quasimodo wat-ches the world below in a city divided by power, passion and prejudice.
One question echoes through the cathedral walls: What makes a monster and what makes a man?
Score is from Alan Menken, lyrics by Stephen Sch-wartz and book by Peter Parnell, based on Victor Hugo’s timeless novel.
CLOC’s show is directed by Shaun Kingma, with musical direction by David Clausen-Wisken and choreography by Melanie Ott.
Performance Dates: May 15-30
Venue: National Theatre, St Kilda
Bookings: cloc.org.au
