Music by Alan Menken 

Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz 

Book by Peter Parnell 

Based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney film

‍

CHARACTERS:

‍

ESMERELDA: Female-identified character, 20s-30s. A beautiful and free-spirited Romani woman who possesses the strong sense of justice and morality that Frollo lacks. Compassionate, she frees Quasimodo from the frenzied mob at the Feast of Fools and, against her better judgment, falls for the cocky Phoebus. Vocal range: Eb3-Db5.

‍

CAPT. PHOEBUS DE MARTIN: Male-identified character, mid-20s-40s. Returning to Paris after serving in the war, Phoebus takes up his new position as Captain of the Cathedral Guard.

‍

CLOPIN TROUILLEFOU: Male-identified character, 30s-40s. The clever and charismatic King of the Roma. An air of mystery surrounds Clopin, who often leaves the scene in a puff of smoke.

‍

ENSEMBLE / JEHAN FROLLO: Male-identified character, 20s-30s. Claude’s reckless younger brother. With Florika, he fathers Quasimodo, who he leaves in his brother’s care. Wild, passionate, and strong-willed. Vocal range: G#2-Eb4.
