Hunchback of Notre Dame Live- Epilogue (2019)

[@stephylovescats]

okay but the way Quasimodo is hunched over and limping during “what makes a monster” and then stands straight up and walks without a limp for “and what makes a man” ????? CHILLS

[@taragold6457]

The Finale to this musical might be my favorite finale ever of a musical, it's so beautiful. I remember when I saw this in person for the first time, I only had listened to the soundtrack and didn't know the ending line about the skeletons was coming, and when I heard it I was overwhelmed and teared up. Olivia delivered that line so beautifully

[@ezelfrancisco1349]

1. It is pretty clever and ballsy how they combined the book and the Disney version very well 2. The Frollo in this version is very different and a little bit sympathetic compared to the original film version, and yet he still manages to be the scariest character here. Kudos to that guy 3. Esmeralda, Frollo, and Quasimodo’s death are very well done here 4. Everyone’s voices is stunning here 5. I would just like to call out the people who made the set, especially the bells, because goddamn, they’re gorgeous 6. The gargoyles weren’t really my favorite characters in the original but having them both be the narrators and the surrogate to reveal the conflicts within Quasimodo is damn great. 7. While he may not have a sign language dude like in the other productions, I did like that they kept the part that Quasimodo is mostly deaf and has a hoarse underused voice, except when he’s singing a soliloquy.

[@CreepDestroyer]

the other version, the actor who played Quasi WAS deaf. That's why he used sign language

[@shine01120]

I love the fact you didn't use the happy Disney ending. It was heartbreaking. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The whole cast were amazing, but I have to say the actor who played Quasimodo blew me away. From the first time he came on stage I felt total sympathy for him, and when he says Esmerelda's name after she dies, I was in tears.

[@elizabethfrohn-hengst296]

Yea the musical is a mashup of the book and the Disney movie it's one Disney's best plays

[@josiemontero1022]

Beautiful the music the singing the performances. When the statues start to paint their faces I lost it.

[@whittosjuju]

I went and saw this at a local play house in my state, and freaking SOBBED at this part behind my dang mask. So touching and moving, one of the greatest stories ever written. I've sang "Someday" for talent shows and fundraisers, along with "God Help the Outcasts" so it's fair to say I love the movie and the musical production so much, but it hits me right in the feels every time!

[@Marionettenfan]

What for a marvelous MASTERPIECE to combine the original rather dark original novel´s tune, with the enchanting melodies from Walt Disney. Even added lyrics to normally cinematic tunes! And the stage setting is such incredible handwork here. But on top of all the lovely cast, how they emphasized each characters´traits. This gave me quite some goose bumps. Thanks sooo much for sharing the videos with all of us here.

[@joshualowe959]

It was great! Can you imagine if Disney tried to animated this adaptation instead of what they did in the Hunchback of Notre Dame Disney movie?

[@Marionettenfan]

@@joshualowe959 Whelp, considering how SLIM the border was for the Disney Adaption to keep it "family friendly", the movie still is quite from thr darker tone. I grew up with that version, only to appreciate the original's one later on even more in a comprehensive manner of an adult and loving BOTH, since it did a deep inpact in my life...no matter how cheesy this sounds here.

[@LisaMariavanHarmelen]

Marionetten Fan Disney actually decided that for their musical of the HOND. So they used everything from the original musical. That doesn’t make it less magnificent anyway :)

[@yoonakim7779]

i never knew that hunchback has this kind of ending. beautiful performances all through out. thank you for this

[@Coin945]

That narrator is incredible, wow…!!

[@mikhawirjosapoetro9212]

[@tracynance2743]

I am seriously bawling my head off. The tears are on my glasses.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Tara-te5cv]

The sheer amount of talent in all aspects of this production is astounding. I'm a lifelong fan of hunchback and this honestly ranks among the top 5 across all media forms and I've seen the og musical cast. And y'all are in high school??!??!! Can't wait to see what you guys do next

[@sarahsifuentes1986]

I'm at work and I am trying to hold back tears right now. This piece always makes me so angry, sad, and hopeful at the same time. One of the best renditions of the musical!

[@makayla2827]

Absolutely stunning performance! I’ve got chills and am trying to hold back the tears! I love the way those final lines were delivered! I’m so proud of all the heart and soul these actors have put behind their characters! Congrats!

[@coffeemaenad7455]

Every time I watch this, tears, just tears. No matter how many times it always makes me sob. It's so powerful and so beautiful. Amazing job!

[@symbionicmusician2566]

The most AMAZING production of the hunchback of Nortredame I have ever seen. I loved it😍😍

[@Yunnemary]

OMG, tears and more tears! Absolute stunning!

[@sarahhhhhhhh]

Amazing! I love the inclusion of the paint on the ensemble like the broadway version. Honestly, one of the best interpretations of the show I've seen.

[@juanrisa945]

The original version of this play wasn't in Broadway.

[@amandae8437]

Omg the vocals... phenomenal!!

[@JewishKeto]

When they talk about Quasimodo’s skeleton crumbling to dust… I have to fight back my tears!

[@___o1799]

The blonde girl's voice made me cry

[@theresamarie6258]

That was such a fantastic production! Wonderful job and congratulations to everyone who contributed to putting on this musical!

[@janayasmiles]

Chilling!! The best I’ve seen on stage! What a talented cast! Can not express how moving this performance has been for me personally, absolutely wonderful job.

[@shelbyresz0165]

[@ryanraines1396]

That top soprano is killing it

[@RiniDiamandis]

i always loved someday as it played at the end of the movie but omg i never thought of it being part of the soundtrack in this way IM IN TEARS!!

[@theraven2663]

Whoa.

[@bizzleblue38]

Will, now I know the difference between the Disney movie and the original at least I think so anyway. And I cried! 😢I am a 50 year old man and not afraid to let my emotions out when something touches me.

[@andydevoscry1994]

It's just so amazing

[@liih_hk]

This whole musical is probably one of the best things i heard ;u; My english is not that good, so sometimes i had a bit of a difficult to understand hehe, but i hunt all the lyrics XD worth every second of research

[@isaaceddie9549]

Actually incredible

[@fullmetal87]

Thank you so much🙂

[@kerrygligorovic9758]

This is a sad tragedy between two loves like Romeo and Juliet but unfortunately this isn't Shakespeare because is a dark novel story of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. The story is beautiful but I still prefer the Disney version because it may not be exactly like the original but at least it has a happy ending.

[@randomwolfphantomsmurfsfan4089]

At least this play ,and talented cast and crew kept some of the songs from the Disney movie.

[@earlvincetinaja2243]

This is based by the Disney Broadway version (IDK how the Disney Broadway change the story , maybe that's why it didn't reach Broadway

[@jonathangoeldner3560]

if you want the Disney-ified ending then watch the movie, but this is completely keeping to the original Victor Hugo book - his Les Miserables story isn't a happy story either FWIW.

[@jonathangoeldner3560]

@@earlvincetinaja2243 Disney's theatrical division did both west and east coast professional theatre productions at La Jolla and Paper Mill, this production with the school cemented and proved that they give regional theatres the option to put on this show. They also did this with 'Freaky Friday' which by the way is also Broadway worthy and worth checking out - the Disney Channel movie version was a valiant attempt but deleted a whole bunch of great songs.

[@travisgoonan7667]

Wow. And I think the ending from the original book was sad 😢

[@zielle3121]

She DIED??😭😭

[@rub9729]

I wish my kids could go to this epic school

[@giorgiojorjoradaelli4207]

bravissimi!!!!

[@RiniDiamandis]

Quasi: Here lies everything that I've ever loved! Phoebus: Esmeralda! -They sob together- Congregation: The world is cruel the world is ugly but there are times and there are people When the world is not And at its cruelest It's still the only world we've got Light and dark Foul and fair Quasi: Out there Choir: Olim deus accelere Hoc saeculum splendidum Congregation: Someday life will be kinder, love will be blinder, some new afternoon godspeed this bright millennium. Hope lives on, wish upon the moon let it come one day accelere fiat venire olim Quasi: Someday- Congregation/Chorus: Soon Narrator: Years later, in the crypts of Notre Dame, there were discovered two skeletons. One of which held the other in it's embrace. The first was a woman with a woven band around her neck, the second was a man whose spinal column was crooked. When they tried to detach the skeleton he held in his arms he crumbled...to dust. Congregation : Morning in Paris A new day appears Sing the bells of Notre Dame Ending the tale Of your poor balladeers Sing the bells of Notre Dame Congregation: And we wish we could leave you a moral, like a trinket you hold in your palm but here is a riddle to guess if you can sing the bells of Notre Dame What makes a monster And what makes a man All: Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells Bells, bells, bells, bells Bells, bells Clopin,Pheobus, Esmeralda, Quasi, Frollo: Whatever their pitch you Can feel them bewitch you The rich and the ritual knells All: Of the bells of Notre Dame These are the lyrics, I hope they help you understand the song better :)

[@RiniDiamandis]

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH !!!!!!! !!!!

[@sonjalam3843]

Can someone explain the symbolism of the gargoyles painting their faces and reaching out to Quasimodo at around 2:45?

[@kateefkeman6553]

They were doing this to help Quasimodo

[@jaelie8398]

How did Esmeralda die?

[@TheKnowledgeMan101]

She died due to inhaling too much smoke when she was about to be burned at the stake by Frollo

[@samuelwarshaw9480]

Smoke inhalation/burns probably. The cause of death isn’t explicitly stated, but she was burning at the stake.

[@RAN20097]

Esmeralda only crime even in the book was being beautiful and naive too bad I was not there with my personality and intrest right now I probably want to have him as a teacher in medicine also I can show Quesimoto kindness.
