Ciara Renee and Micheal Arden in the Jolla Production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame
I thought the point of the musical performance at La Jolla and Papermill was a Broadway preview there is a petition for a Broadway version.
Sign the Petition Here , I did.
EDIT – Ok, I found the reason for the petition. According to an article on Playbill that cited Patrick Page a.k.a Frollo, the show was NOT going to be transferred to Broadway hence the petition. Read article here.
Also I just watched a video of Someday, got say I wish they had kept the song going up till Esmeralda goes to the pyre, it was just so powerful in Glockner but maybe they didn’t want to wait the epic music.
Signed and donated. I wonder how many signatures would be needed to get Disney’s attention though.
And is there absolutely no way this is going to be transferred to Broadway? Is there a reason for the musical not to transfer?
I could understand it if Disney came out with a statement that due to the mixed reviews they were going to try and rework some of the stuff they got negative reviews on and then give it another off Broadway run to see if that helped…but I’m pretty sure most fans of the movie and original source material were under the impression that Disney was planning on transferring this to Broadway and them saying that they aren’t is a total slap in the face to those of us who were expecting that to happen. I think the fans deserve at least some form of explanation.
