Hunchback of Notre Dame Musical - 3. Out There

I love how his voice transforms depending who he's talking to and when he's singing. All hints of timidity and shame melts aways as he sings about his dreams.

Wanna hear a heartbreaking theory? In this song, the line “all I ask is one to hold forever” is the saddest thing ever.. Cause the sad irony is that in the book Quasimodo dies holding Esmeralda’s corpse until he dies of starvation, and their bones are tangled together. I think it’s a reference but that’s just a theory (AND A FUCKING HEARTWRENCHING ONE AT THAT)

[@beatrizpa09]

Omg I didn't know that, it's really sad but beautiful at the same time

It actually is a reference from the book. Quasimodo does, in fact die of starvation beside or holding Esmerellda's body.

[@bia.lopes.santos12lopes78]

I love how Quasimodo says, "If I were in their skin, I'd treasure every moment" Because we are unaware of our most precious gifts. Our lives. People usually complain too much, and Quasimodo shows how much the common people are gifted. For a person like him, chained up inside a bell tower, forced to ring the bells through all of his life, being a normal person is a gift he'd treasure.

[@theenergetichopecat7006]

quasi Moto is a man who is gifted and talented. He is strong and resilient but brave and very emotionally delicate. He is gentle and kind soft-spoken but he loves to sing carries his heart on his sleeve, but most importantly he is very grateful for his life. He was forced to ring bells since the age of 14, he was forced to do our FROLLO told him. He was a servant to his master yet he decided to sing about how grateful he was for his life for his existence. He teaches us to be grateful for our lives in our existence. No matter the cost. And he is a great singer.

[@trueblue6201]

@@alicealoi4951 He is not deaf in the stage performance from which this song came from. What you are hearing is his timid nature which comes from Frollo's treatment of him. While he loves Frollo he is also terrified of him and he believes everything he says. Hence why when he says he is deformed and ugly he truly believes it and it comes across in his voice.

@@cheshirerose2001 I particularly like in this version how Quasi's voice switches between deformed and perfect, depending on whether he's with another character or alone.

[@beckyoren6724]

ABtheMan Thank you!,!!

[@JadeyCatgirl99]

1:05 the way Quasimodo says "I am monster" instead of "I am a monster" is a great touch. I don't know if that was in the script, or just a slip of the tongue on the actor's part, but it helps to show Quasimodo timidness with Frollo. Later when he is with Esmeralda he announciates clearly, but around Frollo he holds back.

[@styrishfernando1849]

He says it same way in la jolla so not a slip of a tongue

[@TheaterRaven]

0:43-0:54--I don't know what hurts more, those words or that Frollo genuinely thinks he's doing Quasimodo a favor by teaching him those things. Think about it: Quasimodo was born innocent, as we all are, even more so than the rest of us because he had no interaction with society. All he knew of it came from Frollo, or what glimpses he caught from the windows. Sure, he may have understood he was different, but he didn't have to think himself ugly and hate himself for that, Frollo taught him to. That's disturbing as hell.

[@jacksont9455]

I like the approach that the play, as opposed to the movie takes with the depth of Frollo as a character. In the movie, he sings this with such a condescending and lecturing tone, it's very obvious that he doesn't care about Quasi Modo at all. From the very beginning Frollo was pure evil. But in the play, especially at this point, it's very clear that he still cares deeply for Quasi, and sees it as his duty to protect him from the cruelness of the world. His tone is so gentle and sincere in this scene. His hatred of gypsies comes from a real prejudice other than just "he's evil", because he genuinely believes that gypsy woman put a curse on his brother in the beginning of the play. Everything he does is with care and with reason, but the series of events hardens his heart and he slowly turns crueler over the course of the play. Whereas in the movie, he's just evil for the sake of being evil.

[@candelacairo934]

TheaterRaven I think that we can't say Frollo's intentions in the whole story were good ..of course... But, have you seen the real world? He is not lying

[@TheaterRaven]

Of course I know the real world can be as cruel as Frollo paints it to be in Quasimodo's head. But it also can be the complete opposite. It's full of people who are kind and compassionate without bowing to the strict religious dogma Frollo feels people must submit to in order to be good. Characters like Esmeralda and Phoebus illustrate as such.

[@jazzykingjack2846]

@@jacksont9455 I like your thoughts on Frollo I completely agree, in the movie he was just evil for the sake of it but in the play (which I have not seen it sadly) he shows a true caring protecting nature and mentality towards quasi modo. In short the movie Frollo meh not much character there and play Frollo so much character love it.

[@michaelwilliamybarra2409]

TheaterRaven That’s why the message that stays in Quasimodo’s mind, after he kills Frollo, is still the same melody here but with a more circular context. The World is cruel The world is ugly But there are times, and there are people, when the world is not And, at it’s cruelest, it is still the only world we got Light and dark Foul and fair Out there Frollo was never completely wrong of what he said and taught Quasimodo, nor was he completely right. All Frollo knew was what he made himself believe of his brother’s supposed downward spiral. Yet, he also knew for sure what killed his brother in the end, and he’s therefore passing his own defense mechanism(Hiding above the world behind glass and stone) onto Quasimodo, his brother’s son, so Quasi could have, by Frollo’s personal standards, an arguably better way to live than the one Frollo watched his brother(no matter how much he’s denying it, by this point in the story) choose on his own.

Stay in here Be faithful to me Quasimodo: I'm faithful Frollo: Grateful to me Quasimodo: I'm grateful Frollo: Do as I say Obey And stay In here Quasimodo: I'll stay In here Quasimodo: Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone Gazing at the people down below me All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone Hungry for the histories they show me All my life I memorize their faces Knowing them as they will never know me All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day Not above them But part of them And out there Living in the sun Give me one day out there All I ask is one To hold forever Out there Where they all live unaware What I'd give What I'd dare Just to live one day out there Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives Through the roofs and gables I can see them Ev'ry day they shout and scold and go about their lives Heedless of the gift it is to be them If I was in their skin I'd treasure ev'ry instant Out there Strolling by the Seine Taste a morning out there Like ordinary men Who freely walk about there Just one day and then I swear I'll be content With my share Won't resent Won't despair Old and bent I won't care I'll have spent One day Out there

[@TWICESLICEDBREAD]

My first song of 2020 lol

[@ArchiduquesaMA]

I love how this song goes from pessimism to optimism

[@reagan__bogue3155]

I love this movie and music

[@judesharp6472]

WHERE DOES HE KEEP ALL THE AIR FOR THAT LAST NOTE AFTER SINGING THE WHOLE SONG I JUST CANT

[@ambersummer2685]

Let us all rise for the quarantine anthem. * stands up with hand on chest *

[@azensura]

Remember Quasimodo... Our line has always ruled with wisdom and strength.

[@duellegend71]

This song hits me so hard in the feels , I have certain traits of my appearance I hate. No where near as bad as quas but I don’t like my nose or feet lol. Point being he doesn’t see his differences as a good thing and instead feeds into the lies and gets into a deep depression over it which is very relatable to people in today’s world ❤️❤️

[@ajpat9620]

Imagine if Ralph Fiennes and Eddie Redmayne performed that song in their roles as Judge Frollo and Quasimodo, in the live-action version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

[@quilliam_shakesqueare]

I relate to this song on a spiritual level

[@freddiegibbs101]

This comment is for Alan Menken, the most integral part of every Disney film he composed for. His genius melodies elevates the material and captures the emotional beats perfectly.

[@nyx.arlene]

Is it bad that when he sang one day and then paused, I expected him to belt MOOOOORE?

[@mikeanello8901]

It is. He might have died.

[@carlottarobbins7005]

I mean...it's another musical by the same author, so...no?

[@TheKnowledgeMan101]

This ain't Les Mis baby

[@Adrian-hz5kx]

The musical version is so much more powerful than the film.

[@DeoAlong]

This is just amazing!

[@Need4Speed5000]

His voice is amazing!!

[@achanwahn]

I love his singing is basically inner monolog

[@sheamartin8369]

I cry every time...

[@iggyfing2646]

I like this guy's voice better than movie!Quasi's, but I like the way the song is sung better in the movie. Heck!

[@shoshanabodner8496]

Amazing story about mental abuse in its vivid form. Love this movie.

[@charlesmcloughlin803]

This is so fricken good

[@MrSean24601]

I would love to see Ben Platt play Quasimodo. I think he would be perfect!

[@Beautifullytragic6]

I thought the same thing! Although, I love Arden too.

[@stephpiano2908]

Holy shit yesssss

[@Midiport]

I don't think his voice would fit the character or the setting that much tbh;;;

[@Midiport]

He is a great actor but his vocals in my opinion don't really match the setting of this musical

[@Louise-jx6lp]

He hasn't got the tone in my opinion

[@memedream_451]

I'm using this song to widen my vocal range. Very effective, theres only a few bottom notes that I'm having trouble with but I'm doing a lot better yee

[@wandanemer2630]

Congratulations! 🌹

[@TrelliessRose]

I love musicals that are hard to sing! 😀💜

[@giannamalrose2437]

In all honesty, I still prefer Tom Hulce's version from the movie. It's the one I grew up with and I'm more used to. Plus Hulce's voice is just so distinctive, warm and has a bit more passion to it. With that said, this is easily my second favorite version! This guy has mad pipes:)

[@---jt5wg]

this song suddenly reminded me of 'jack's lament' from a nightmare before christmas

[@theldsgirl9860]

My school just announced that this is our spring musical and I’m SO EXCITED

[@kaylimcginnis]

As someone who is autistic and was bullied because of that this really hits home.

[@h193013]

Kayli McGinnis No way I’m autistic too!

[@kaylimcginnis]

h193013 thats cool time hear. I hope you had a better experience growing up than I did.

[@jnrs9512]

Best Disney song of all time, fight me.

[@shefeelslikedaylight]

Honestly, I know im a girl. But my dream character to play is Quasi and to have this solo

[@qsings8674]

There have been girl quasis

[@carlottarobbins7005]

Maria Paz right?? If I were a boy, I would do everything I could to someday play Quasimodo in this show!

[@belkiscastillo7879]

I love this movie so much

who's here cuz of covid

[@alanjones3600]

This is literally my favourite song from the Hunchback of Notre Dame 😊 Does anyone know what year this film became a stage musical? And whether it is likely to be playing in London? as I would love to go and see it 😊

[@MrCheekyMonkey321]

Alan Jones The English-language version premiered in 2014. It doesn't look like there are any plans for a London performance.

[@justsomegirl7274]

Alan Jones it never made it off broadway

[@justsomegirl7274]

Alan Jones reasoning was that it cost too much to hire a full choir (LOL)

[@kelenchen2581]

Kaila Karns never made it *on Broadway

[@justsomegirl7274]

Kelen Chen one word diff get over it lmao, I'm saying it never got to Broadway period.

[@FlippytheMasterofPie]

Always thought it was weird that they substituted in the word “curses” rather than “calumny” in this version. Surely it’s not because they were afraid that the audiences wouldn’t understand the word, when this version incorporates some of the more adult elements to the book. If it’s good enough for the rated G Disney movie why not the play? And you know what, if kids have to crack open a dictionary to understand what he said that’s probably not the worst thing in the world

[@ShyyGaladriel]

I… cant believe i was able to see this in person. Disney really missed out by putting Frozen instead of this on Broadway.

[@king_big_pp]

bruh why am i crying in the club rn

[@stephpiano2908]

Holy shit, my eyes are suddenly wet, I'm so incredibly moved by this song, it's so POWERFUL! I physically cannot contain my all of my emotions right now
