Bailiwick Repertory's production of rocker Dennis DeYoung's new musical adaptation of Victor Hugo's classic, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" will welcome Broadway veteran Evan D'Angeles as Quasimodo beginning July 24.
His Broadway credits include Miss Saigon, Pacific Overtures and concerts. He has performed in the national tours of Cats and
Rent, for which he played Angel for six months in Chicago.
Also joining the cast are Gregory Franklin, as the tormented priest Frollo, and
Doug Storm as Phoebus.
New ensemble members include Rachel Renee, Mark LeBeau, Jessica Lauren Fisher, Kelli Clevinger and Kendel Lester. New musical director is
Robert Ollis.
DeYoung penned book, music and lyrics for the world premiere, which is a revision of an earlier version of the tale he penned for a production seen in Tennessee.
Bailiwick artistic director David Zak directs the "unique and thrilling" production "that surrounds the audience with the epic tale of unrequited love." According to Bailiwick, "We meet the deformed bell-ringer Quasimodo, the tormented priest Fr. Frollo, and the
Gypsy girl Esmerelda who entrances them both in a story of great power and beauty."
The Hunchback of Notre Dame plays Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM, and Sundays at 3:30 PM through Aug. 31.
