The Hunchback of Notre Dame at Paper Mill Playhouse 

Maybe someday...

@@fanfictionandthings784 from what I’ve heard, it’s very unlikely as they have a HUGE choir and the Broadway union doesn’t want to pay THAT many people. I think I heard that they even asked them to cut the choir in half and the writers were like “no”, which I don’t blame them, the choir is amazing

ilovelegos2000 the Social justice warriors care more about their feminism anti male and anti family propaganda rubbish than our western civilization heritage which the Hunchback of Notre Dame is.

zachary moss zachary i promise you that’s not it at all.

I KNOW RIGHT! HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME DESERVES TO BE IN BROADWAY MORE THAN FROZEN

zachary moss I don't like Frozen either but calling it anti-male and anti-family is quite an exaggeration.

Geofanny Yohanes I like both frozen and the hunchback of Notre dame

Same. Too bad he's gay and married :(

@@halwaffles his gay and married to a bi man (Andy Mientus,I love them both)

Hunchback isnt a fairy tale

Jean Valjean No, The Hunchback of Norte Dame is a novel set in the year 1482.

@@rideoutsean she's not saying that it's a fairy tale, she's saying that the story is very much a story of life

surprising they actually said its "an adaptation of the book" but also has songs from the Disney movie, given how tight disney is with their properties

91Vault it's a Disney production so, I mean, they're using their own songs…

@dez3591 You also forgot that Frollo is the Archdeacon, Frollo stabs Phoebus and frames Esmeralda for it, Quasimodo throwing Frollo off the roof of the Notre Dame Cathedral, Frollo tries to assault Esmeralda and Quasimodo dies while holding Esmeralda's dead body and that his and Esmeralda's bodies were intertwined as skeletons and both crumbled to dust after trying to be detached

+KaraoYoshi To think Flick from Christmas Story directed this

+KaraoYoshi They did it!!!! theirs a cast recording coming out too!!!

irvyne I'm in CA and I didn't even know about this until pandora lol ugh

irvyne I know this was 3 years ago, but how were they different??

@@marcomotroni the berlin musical is closer to the film, and the papermill one is closer to the novel, througth they do have basically the same story.

@@juanrisa945 I hate to break it ya but if the American musical were more like the Berlin show it would have gone to Broadway.

andythemisfit you could come to germany to stuttgart we have this production, but in german

It's on RU-vid lol. Watch the boot

They should’ve used this version. I guarantee you it would have gone to Broadway. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xP8cM6QRkA4.html

Sherry Larkin I’m from Huntsville and I didn’t know about this and I’m so mad at my past self now

I feel like they would have to do a creative compromise for the ending (I.e. Esmeralda dies and Quasimodo throws Frollo off the roof but during the "Someday" reprise Quasimodo sees her ascending to heaven with the saints). In other words, providing some form of comfort, but keeping the darkness intact.

How the 1996 Disney version was going to end. I would go this route personally. I imagine it being similar to Darth Vader’s death at the end of Return of The Jedi (Esmeralda + Phoebus = Luke and Dying Quasimodo = Dying Darth Vader). That would be very emotionally powerful and it would make me cry: “The filmmakers briefly considered having Quasimodo killed off, since that is his fate in the original novel. He was originally supposed to be stabbed by Frollo, then Esmeralda regains consciousness and tries to save him by killing Frollo. Phoebus was then supposed to meet up with them, and Quasimodo's last wish was to ring the bells one last time. They take him to the bells, then Esmeralda and Phoebus help him ring the bells as he dies. The final shot was going to include Esmeralda and Phoebus crying over their best friend as the people of Paris cheer for their success, unaware of Quasimodo's death. Luckily, this is not the ending that was used because even hardcore fans of the novel agree that the ending they used instead was a more suitable conclusion for the theme of this film”.

Disney is currently developing a live action remake of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. They’re reinstating the three comedic gargoyles and re-recasting their villain Frollo as a judge as he was in the animated version, and actor Josh Gad is producing the remake as well as playing the role of Quasimodo.

They would ruin it.

@@stephenkostiak5769 I sure hope this isn't true. All the Disney remakes have been bad recently.

Apparently the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama did it a few years ago. Apart from that, nada :/

No. Because way too many cooks would be in the kitchen, and disney prefers to keep the levels of oversight to a minimum.

It’s illegal so probably not, hard to get a good recording without it being super obvious. There may be some good videos of amateur productions

I am a year late, nut it's coming to the fifth ave in seattle at some point

It’s playing now until June 24 at 5th ave in Seattle! Watching it tomorrow! =]

Brian Mccloskey THIS!

THIS! ❤️😭🙏🏾

Hyojoo Song I'm glad they dropped the gargoyles...

Lol those were the worst and most out of place parts of the movie
