THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME is Coming to UD Summer Stage
By: A.A. Cristi Jun. 26, 2017
Based on Victor Hugo's powerful novel and adapted from the Disney film, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is nothing less than an epic production. It is a dramatic tale of complex relationships, featuring a gorgeous, spine-tingling score created by musical legends Allen Menken and Steven Schwartz. This musical production is the next "Les Miserables", matching the intensity of the music and challenging complexities of each character.
Tickets for this production are affordable ranging from $13 to $17, enabling anyone to experience a professional, high standard production. Tickets may be purchased at udpac.org or by calling the box office at 610.622.1189.
The Upper Darby Performing Arts Center is located at 601 N. Lansdowne Avenue, minutes from the Main Line and Center City. The performance is approximately 2.5 hours, including intermission. Parking is free. The production is appropriate for children 12 and up.
Upper Darby Summer Stage has been selected as the first theatre in the Philadelphia region to tackle this emotional story, exploring the good and evil tendencies inside of everyone. Adding to the spectacle is an onstage choir. The Mainstage production is not a children's theater show and is not performed by children.
Composer Allen Menken spoke about the production in an interview. "It's much more than simply a Disney animated musical brought to the stage," said Menken. "It's a pretty serious musical. It represents a huge coming together of talent. It's anything but a musical comedy. It's a musical drama."
