Music and Lyrics by Dennis DeYoung (1996-2022)

A rockstar's take on Victor Hugo's classic novel. This story centers on Frollo's experience as a 15th century archdeacon who cares for Quasimodo, a deformed child, and who wrestles with his lust for the vulnerable Romani girl Esmerelda.

"Alyssa Ridder’s brightly colored costumes give Hunchback a multi-faceted sheen of beauty that dazzles yet also hides the emotional darkness within."
