AUDITIONS
Storyline
In the heart of medieval Paris, the bells of Notre Dame ring out over a city divided—between the powerful and the powerless, the righteous and the wicked, the free and the confined. Quasimodo, the cathedral’s isolated bell-ringer, longs to leave his tower and join the world below, while the captivating and compassionate Esmeralda fights for justice among the outcasts. As Archdeacon Frollo’s obsession spirals into tyranny, the three are pulled into a collision of faith, fate, and forbidden desire.

Character Breakdown
QUASIMODO
Stage Age: 20 - 30
Vocal Range: Bb2 - Bb4
The deformed bell-ringer of Notre Dame. 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.
ESMERALDA
Stage Age: 20 - 30
Vocal Range: Eb3 - Db5
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.
CAPTAIN PHOEBUS DE MARTIN
Stage Age: 25 - 40
Vocal Range: Ab2 - Ab4
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.

Vocal Range: E2 - D4
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.”
CLOPIN TROUILLEFOU
Stage Age: 30 - 40
Vocal Range: C3 – G4
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.
