Family Music Theatre Announces
Cast & Creative Details for THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME
Family Music Theatre, a community theatre proudly residing in South Dallas announces its cast of THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, the Disney classic musical based on the Victor Hugo novel. This is the second production of Family Music Theatre’s 30th Anniversary Season. Let the massive 50-person cast and live orchestra ensemble sweep you away with the captivating melodies of the timeless tale. From the Academy Award-winning team of Menken and Schwartz, this lushly scored production brings Victor Hugo’s epic novel to life in a spectacular theatrical story-telling experience. Featuring beloved songs from the Disney animated feature, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" intertwines the beauty of the Academy Award-nominated score with a new book by Peter Parnell that embraces the essence of story theatre. Combining narration, live action, and choral commentary, the musical transports audiences to fifteenth-century Paris, where the bells of Notre Dame toll and Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer played by Deshawn Thomas, yearns to venture "Out There."
Under the co-direction of Dr. Sam Germany and Andrew Isenberg, alongside co-music directors Dr. Sam Germany and Rebekah Wesler, and choreographer Dauri Poole, this production promises to captivate audiences with its spellbinding performances, “topsy turvy” choreography, and what should prove to be the overall star of the show, the outstanding choral ensemble. Audiences will be transported to the heart of medieval Paris as they witness Quasimodo's journey unfold on stage, accompanied by an exquisite costume design by Krista Golightly that brings the vibrant characters to life. Set against the backdrop of the Feast of Fools, a historical celebration where roles are reversed and outcasts are elevated, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" presents outcasts and their oppressors, timeless themes of good versus evil, and the hope for a better tomorrow that draws us all. “At its core, this is a musical about identity,” says co-director Isenberg. “The question, ‘What makes a monster and what makes a man’ is answered by every principal character, and even the Ensemble. We are monsters when we fail to be who we are meant to be, listening too intently to the voices that are in us but not of us, and those without. We are men when the voice of kindness and compassion rings louder than our own desires.”
