Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame

The theatrical event Gippsland has been waiting for – let the mighty bells of Notre Dame ring!

Class Act Productions proudly presents Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame – a breathtaking musical event showcasing a suberb cast of Gippsland's finest performers and featuring the soaring voices of the West Gippsland Chorale as the onstage choir and the rich, full sound of the renowned Gippsland Symphony Orchestra in the pit.

Based on Victor Hugo’s epic novel and the beloved Disney animated film, this powerful stage adaptation combines the Academy Award–nominated score you know and love with bold new songs by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz. Peter Parnell’s script embraces the grandeur of story theatre, weaving in passages taken directly from Hugo’s gothic masterpiece.

As the mighty bells of Notre Dame ring out across fifteenth-century Paris, the deformed bell-ringer Quasimodo longs to be “Out There,” free from the grip of his cruel caretaker, the archdeacon Claude Frollo. During the riotous Feast of Fools, Quasimodo encounters the courageous and compassionate Esmeralda, whose beauty and spirit captivate not only him but also the gallant Captain Phoebus and the obsessive Frollo. When Frollo’s dark obsession turns deadly, Quasimodo must find the strength to rise against tyranny and save the innocent.

With a sweeping score, unforgettable characters, and a heart-stirring story of love, justice, and acceptance, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a theatrical experience like no other. Don’t miss this spectacular production that will leave you spellbound from the first toll of the bells to the final note.
