Federica Callori 2011-2012 Italian Esmeralda Notre Dame de Paris
There is a Petition to get a DVD made for the 2012 Italian cast of Notre Dame de Paris. While it’s not my favorite cast of Notre Dame de Paris a lot people love them I’m all in favor of more DVDs of Notre Dame de Paris which mean decent recording and footage.

I really enjoyed this, I liked the fire motif but what is Esmeralda wearing? At least it’s not Red ^_~
This video was taken from the Frequenstar episode on Notre Dame de Paris. It features It includes Julie Zenatti and Nadia Bel singing La Sorcière, Patrick Fiori reveals a mistake he made and Garou singing Un Matin Tu Dansais.

I think Notre Dame de Paris was totally missed cast Julie Zenatti should have played Frollo. Her rendition of La Sorcière was brilliant. I’m joking of course though it would be cool if they did a mixed up concert where the roles are shuffled around.
The yellow text was done by me but other than fades and the text/subtitles, the clip wasn’t edited.
I really love their chemistry, it so cute.
It’s Time for My Little Pony. This time it’s everybodies’ conflicted priest; Frollo. I created this by using the Ponymaker game on the hub website but I did change his eyes with photoshop to make him look scary.
Frollo inspired Pony
Sofia Essaïdi
In a post on Notre Dame de Paris Fans, there was note from a tumblr blog called Passing Dreams that had a list of who they thought would be the ideal casting choices for Esmeralda, Quaismodo and Frollo if there was a French revival of Notre Dame de Paris. Just got to say that a new French cast would be awesome. The Show hasn’t been performed as a musical in France since 2005. Anyway so I’m going to look at these people and first up is Sofia Essaïdi for Esmeralda.
Sofia Essaïdi
Sofia Essaïdi is half French and half Moroccan so there is no denying that she has a the right look for Esmeralda and she is very beautiful. She was on the third season of France’s Star Academy (2004) which she came in second. On Star Academy she performed Vivre (see video at the bottom of the page) . She has also released an album in 2005 called Mon Cabaret
Sofia Essaïdi as Cleopatra from Cléopâtre, la Dernière Reine d’Égypte
Essaïdi would make a great Esmeralda, she can sing and she dances very well. I just happen to not be overly fond of her voice, it’s not that it’s bad, it just doesn’t resonate with me. I also didn’t care for her rendition of Vivre but I think a musical director could help if she was cast (plus those hamster-ball people wouldn’t be there either). However I did like her as Cleopatra.

I think if she were to play Esmeralda it would be would be a great casting choice.

This video is a rendition of Belle in Polish. To my knowledge Belle is the only song from Notre Dame de Paris that has been offically translated into Polish. I for one don’t like the jazz arrangement of the song. But what do you think? Yay or Nay?

Helene Segara, Patrick Fiori & some of the dancers being silly in an Elevator
Here are some Funny add-in to Notre Dame de Paris and some Mistake. Though I’m sure there are a lot more of these incidences that occurred in all the many different casts.
During Tentative d’enlèvement Phoebus sings “Je suis le capitaine chargé de la sécurité” (“I am the captain in charge of security” ), in the last performance the word “SECURITY” was written on Patrick Fiori chain mail. source
During a performance of La volupté the bed was covered with condoms. source
During Tentative d’enlèvement in a performance, Fiori replaced Esmeralda’s knife with a comb . source
During the song Je reviens vers toi Fiori instead of singing “au fond de moi c’est toi que j’aime encore” (From the depths of me, it’s you I still love) he sang “au fond de toi c’est moi que j’aime encore” (From the depths of you it’s me I still love). source
In the London production during The Bird they put in Cages Garou instead of ” do they birds they put in cages” he accidently starts to sing “do the children they put in cages” source
Since it’s Friday the 13th and we’re focusing on Notre Dame de Paris this month I created a special fan-art for the occasion
Friday the 13th Notre Dame de Paris Special
I was aiming for a creepy/spooky vibe. I tried to make it look like Esmeralda was a demonic ghoul haunting Frollo.
