The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame follows Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer longing to be “Out There”. He finds acceptance through Esmarelda, a beautiful Romani woman, but the handsome Captain Phoebus and Arch Decan Frollo are equally enthralled. As the three vie for her attention, Frollo embarks on a mission to destroy the Roma people.
White Christmas
Veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis have a successful song-and-dance act after World War II. With romance in mind, the two follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters en route to their Christmas show at a Vermont lodge, which just happens to be owned by Bob and Phil's former army commander. With a dazzling score featuring well-known standards including “Blue Skies,” “I Love A Piano,” “How Deep Is the Ocean” and the perennial title song, White Christmas is an uplifting musical worthy of year-round productions.
