The Art Centre Theatre announced not one but two musical adaptations of The Hunchback of Notre Dame that promise to bring this classical story new life.
On one hand they are promising a beautifully fun, modern day take entitled “The Belles of Notre Dame” written by their very own Gloria “Gigi” Gonzalez. This family friendly show is performed by some of the best youth performers in all of Dallas Fort Worth with modern day music, and a deep message connecting the classical story to issues we all struggle with on a daily basis.
On the flip side the adult cast is performing an intense drama written by the award winning playwright Paul Boyd entitled “Hunchback The Musical”. While this performance is anything but family friendly, it is a ridiculously funny and action packed show. The team has worked hard to bring this period piece to life with a vivacious cast and thrilling musical numbers.
“The Belles of Notre Dame” opens at 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23 at Art Centre Theatre and runs until Sunday Oct. 9 with shows at 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays as well as Sunday matinees at 1 p.m. “Hunchback The Musical” opens at 8:30 pm on Friday, Sept. 23 and runs until Oct. 2, with evening shows on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:30 p.m. and a single special Sunday matinee Oct. 2 at 3:30 p.m.
