Claude Frollo (Male identifying, age 40-50) Archdeacon of Notre Dame Cathedral and the most powerful cleric in Paris, he is the reluctant caretaker of Quasimodo. He will do whatever it takes to rid the city of the Roma “vermin,” even as he lusts after Esmeralda. Calculating, manipulative, and obsessive. Vocal range top: D4, Vocal range bottom: E2
Jehan Frollo (Male identifying, age 20-30) 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 top: Eb4, Vocal range bottom: G#2
Florika (Female Identifying, Age 20-30) A Romani woman and Quasimodo’s mother. Vocal range top: F5, Vocal range bottom: C#4
Father Dupin (Male Identifying, Age 40-60) A priest of Notre Dame and Claude and Jehan’s guardian. Vocal range top: A4 Vocal range bottom: C4
Quasimodo (Male Identifying, Age 20 to 30) The deformed bell-ringer of Notre Dame and Claude Frollo’s charge. Lonely and staunchly obedient to Frollo, he possesses a vivid imagination that brings to life the bells and gargoyles of the cathedral. Despite his shyness and uncertainty, he quickly befriends Esmeralda. Big-hearted, and brave when need be. Vocal range top: Bb4, Vocal range bottom: Bb2
Clopin Trouillefou (Male Identifying, Age 30-40) The clever and charismatic King of the Roma. An air of mystery surrounds Clopin, who often leaves the scene in a puff of smoke. As the master of ceremonies for the Feast of Fools, he is witty and playful, but he boasts a darker, serious nature when not performing for the crowd. Vocal range top: G4 Vocal range bottom: C3
Captain Phoebus de Martin (Male Identifying, Age 25-40) Returning to Paris after serving in the war, Phoebus takes up his new position as Captain of the Cathedral Guard. Overconfident yet charming, this handsome, strong soldier makes the ladies swoon, yet his moral compass is also strong, and he openly defies the corrupted Frollo. Vocal range top: Ab4 Vocal range bottom: Ab2
Lieutenant Frederic Charlus (Male Identifying, Age 20-30) Lieutenant of the Cathedral Guard and loyal friend to Phoebus.
Esmeralda (Female Identifying, Age 20-30) 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 top: Db5 Vocal range bottom: Eb3
King Louis XI (Male Identifying, Age 40-50) King of France, nicknamed the Prudent.
Tribunal (Male Identifying, Age 20-50) A judicial officer. Vocal range top: E4 Vocal range bottom: G2 Madam (Female Identifying, Age 35-50) Owner of a brothel and safe haven for the Roma.
Saint Aphrodisius (Male Identifying, Age 30-50) A stained-glass image that comes to life. Vocal range top: E4 Vocal range bottom: B2
