WHAT TO EXPECT FOR AUDITIONS

For the music audition: 

Auditioners should prepare the assigned cut/selection in the folder below.  

• Men (Bass) - Hellfire

• Men (Tenor) - Out There

• Women - Top of the World

• Choir - Entr’acte

• Olim/Bells of Notre Dame will be utilized as a warm up for all

 

Auditioners will do a vocal warm-up together then will have the opportunity to sing the cut as a group before singing solo. It is expected that you come with the audition cut learned and memorized. It is also recommended to be familiar with both cuts should the team want to hear you sing both. 

 

For the dance audition: 

The Choreographer will teach a short piece of the choreography. Smaller groups will then perform the piece to the best of their ability. Make sure to wear comfortable closed-toed shoes you can dance in. Barefoot, sandals, crocs, etc. will not be allowed due to the safety of all auditioners. 

 

 

​​​​​​CASTING INFORMATION:

​

Claude Frollo - M - 40 to 50

Archdeacon of Notre Dame Cathedral and the most powerful cleric in Paris, he is the reluctant caretaker of Quasimodo. He will do whatever it takes to rid the city of the Roma “vermin,” even as he lusts after Esmeralda. Calculating, manipulative, and obsessive.

Quasimodo - M - 20 to 30

The deformed bell-ringer of Notre Dame and Claude Frollo’s charge. Lonely and staunchly obedient to Frollo, he possesses a vivid imagination that brings to life the bells and gargoyles of the cathedral. Despite his shyness and uncertainty, he quickly befriends Esmeralda. Big-hearted, and brave when need be.

Esmeralda - F - 20 to 30

A beautiful and free-spirited Romani woman who possesses the strong sense of justice and morality that Frollo lacks. Compassionate, she frees Quasimodo from the frenzied mob at the Feast of Fools and, against her better judgment, falls for the cocky Phoebus.

Captain Phoebus de Martin - M - 25 to 40

Returning to Paris after serving in the war, Phoebus takes up his new position as Captain of the Cathedral Guard. Overconfident yet charming, this handsome, strong soldier makes the ladies swoon, yet his moral compass is also strong, and he openly defies the corrupted Frollo.

Clopin Trouillefou - M or F - 30 to 40

The clever and charismatic King of the Roma. An air of mystery surrounds Clopin, who often leaves the scene in a puff of smoke. As the master of ceremonies for the Feast of Fools, he is witty and playful, but he boasts a darker, serious nature when not performing for the crowd.

Vocal range top: G4 Vocal range bottom: C3

 

Jehan Frollo - M - 20 to 30
