Within the vast Gothic Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, Quasimodo the hunchbacked bellringer resides. Ridiculed and reviled by all for his physical appearance, he is shown compassion only by the gypsy Esmeralda, a compassion that he repays with absolute devotion.
Victor Hugo’s classic retelling of “Beauty and the Beast” follows the faithful, unlikely hero’s attempts to save Esmeralda from the black-hearted and lecherous Archdeacon Claude Frollo, his own adopted father. Hugo’s magnificent, passionate novel is brought to the stage in a gripping new blockbuster of an adaptation, which previewed at Barons Court Theatre in June to critical acclaim.
Sexy, heartbreaking and damned funny! Much swashbuckling will ensue…
