Notre Dame de Paris Musical to Celebrate 25th Anniversary with Broadway Engagement
One of the most highly anticipated events of the 2023–24 Broadway season is set to be the three-week engagement of the iconic musical Notre Dame de Paris. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the musical will grace the stage at the David H Theatre, Koch, as part of the prestigious Lincoln Center from June 22 to July 16.
A Global Phenomenon
Created by Richard Cocciante, a French singer/composer of Italian descent, and Luc Plamondon, a renowned Québécois lyricist, Notre Dame de Paris premiered at the Palais des Congrès in Paris on September 16, 1998. Since then, it has been translated into multiple languages, including Russian, Polish, Korean, and Dutch, and has captivated audiences in over 20 countries.
Although the musical had a shortened run in Las Vegas in 2000, it took 22 years for it to finally make its way to New York. Last year, Notre Dame de Paris had a successful limited engagement on Broadway, attracting over 30,000 spectators. This upcoming revival not only marks the musical’s return to Broadway for a second consecutive year but also commemorates a significant milestone, offering those who missed out last year another chance to experience this legendary production.
A Stellar Cast
Under the direction of Gilles Maheu and with choreography by Martino Müller, the cast of Notre Dame de Paris features an exceptional lineup. Angelo del Vecchio will portray Quasimodo, while Elhaida Dani takes on the role of Esmeralda. Daniel Lavoie, who originated the role in 1998, will reprise his performance as Frollo. Other notable cast members include Gian Marco Schiaretti as Gringoire, Jay as Clopin, Jérémy Amelin as Phoebus, and Alyzée Lalande as Fleur-de-Lys. The production also showcases the talents of acrobats Jonathan Gadjane, Nathan Jones, Andrea Neyroz, Arek Szynal, and Ivan Irbano, as well as dancers Lorenzo Arnouls, Antonio Balsamo, Giulia Barbone, Marina Barbone, Wilfried Bernard, Alessandra Berti, Rodolphe Duquesne, Giuseppe Marino, Gabriel Nabo, Alessi Papale, Sonia Picone, Velentin Piers, Anaïa Replumaz, Ivan Trimarchi, Vaia Venetis, and Roberta Zegretti, many of whom were part of last year’s presentation.
An Enchanting Experience
Unlike the usual pre-recorded musical accompaniments, Notre Dame de Paris will be performed with a live orchestra, just as it was during its previous Broadway run. The musical will be presented in French, with English surtitles provided for non-bilingual viewers, ensuring a greater understanding and appreciation of the production.
