AVAILABLE ROLES 

Quasimodo: Male presenting. 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.

Dance Ability: Standard dance ability

 

Esmeralda: Female presenting. A beautiful and free-spirited Romani woman who possesses the strong sense of justice and morality that Frollo lacks.

Phoebus.

Dom Claude Frollo: Male presenting. Archdeacon of Notre Dame Cathedral and the most powerful cleric in Paris, he is the reluctant caretaker of Quasimodo.

Captain Pheobus de Martin: Male presenting. Returning to Paris after serving in the war, Phoebus takes up his new position as Captain of the Cathedral Guard.
