    AUDITION PACK Please read all instructions carefully 1 ABOUT ‘HUNCHBACK’ What makes a monster and what makes a man? This is the central theme of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a sweeping, grand-scale musical from Disney Theatrical. Based on the 1996 Disney film and Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame tells the story of Quasimodo, the hunchbacked bell-ringer of Notre Dame, and his desire to one day be a part of the outside world. When he summons the courage to attend the Feast of Fools, he meets Esmeralda, a compassionate gypsy who protects him from an angry mob. But at the same time, Quasimodo’s master, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, and the new captain of the guard, Phoebus de Martin, fall in love with the beautiful girl. Adding to Quasimodo’s struggle is his punishment and derision from Frollo, following years of psychological abuse, and the danger posed by the gypsies, who are willing to kill any outsiders who venture into their secret hideout. But before Paris is burned to the ground, will Quasimodo be able to save Esmeralda from Frollo’s lust and anger? Will she return Quasimodo’s affection? Who is the true monster of Notre Dame?

I don't remember ever reading in my many browsings through the forum archives, how you got involved with HUNCHBACK. Was this one of those assignments that you had to find the passion for, or was there something about the story that attracted you to the project? I think HUNCHBACK is my favorite of all the Disney stuff I've seen that you've done. I like the way Kwosimodo (sp) has to learn to see himself as a different person than what he's been led to believe he was all his life, and with that new vision of himself, he's able to make a difference in his community. Good stuff. :) So I'd be interested in hearing how you got involved with HUNCHBACK and what attracted you to the project. - Peggy Answer from Stephen Schwartz: After Alan Menken and I had been working on POCAHONTAS for about a year and it was clear that the project and collaboration were going well, the folks at Disney offered us a choice of a couple of ideas they had been developing as a follow-up.

Motivazioni per scrivere note di ringraziamento non mancano. Contributi e suggerimenti sono giunti da ogni dove, vien da dire «dagli Appennini alle Ande». Tutto questo aiuto mi ha dato e mi sta dando entusiasmo per continuare a migliorare e ampliare gli orizzonti di quest©impresa. Ringrazio quindi: chi mi ha dato consigli su grafica e impostazione del sito, chi ha svolto le operazioni di aggiornamento sul portale, tutti coloro che mettono a disposizione testi e materiali che riguardano la lirica, chi ha donato tempo, chi mi ha prestato hardware, chi mette a disposizione software di qualità a prezzi più che contenuti. Infine ringrazio la mia famiglia, per il tempo rubatole e dedicato a questa attività. I titoli vengono scelti in base a una serie di criteri: disponibilità del materiale, data della prima rappresentazione, autori di testi e musiche, importanza del testo nella storia della lirica, difficoltà di reperimento. A questo punto viene ampliata la varietà del materiale, e la sua affidabilità, tramite acquisti, ricerche in biblioteca, su internet, donazione di materiali da parte di appassionati. Il materiale raccolto viene analizzato e messo a confronto: viene eseguita una trascrizione in formato elettronico.

Debbie Clark Honors Thesis Richey, Henderson April 24, 2018 "This dreadful web": Alienation and Miscommunication in The Hunchback of Notre Dame At both the literal and metaphorical center of Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a curious interaction concerning a spider, a fly, and archdeacon Claude Frollo. He is distracted from a discussion of alchemy with visitors to his cell-like laboratory in the Notre Dame cathedral by the sight of a fly becoming trapped in a cobweb and the spider beginning to eat it. One of his visitors reaches out to save the fly, but Frollo catches his arm in an iron grip and cries, “do not interfere with the work of Fate!” (Hugo 268). He then confuses his guests by waxing symbolic about this “universal symbol” of the fly desiring only the light, the fresh air, freedom, and knowledge and instead being caught in the web of fate, desire, and pride.
