THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME Comes to Granbury Theatre Company

Granbury Theatre Company will continue its Broadway on the Brazos season with the musical “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” on September 20-October 13, 2024, at the historic Granbury Opera House in Downtown Granbury.

According to Music Theatre International, “The musical begins as the bells of Notre Dame sound through the famed cathedral in fifteenth-century Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer who longs to be "Out There," observes all of Paris reveling in the Feast of Fools. Held captive by his devious caretaker, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, he escapes for the day and joins the boisterous crowd, only to be treated cruelly by all but the beautiful Romani woman, Esmeralda. Quasimodo isn’t the only one captivated by her free spirit, though – the handsome Captain Phoebus and Frollo are equally enthralled. As the three vie for her attention, Frollo embarks on a mission to destroy the Roma – and it’s up to Quasimodo to save them all.”

Leading the cast are Freddy Martinez Jr. and Ben Rongey, who share the role of Quasimodo.  Audrey Randall and Sofi Warren will portray Emeralda, while Jake Hamilton is Captain Phoebus de Martin. Returning to the stage is Opera House favorite Brian Lawson as Dom Claude Frollo.
