    This was so long ago lol but I loved seeing the ending where Michael takes off the ragged cloak and hump as he wipes away the makeup. Suddenly he's just a normal person, still singing but he blends in so perfectly with the cast. The symbolism that if you take away his appearance he's just like everyone else is amazing.

    It kind of reminds me of Christopher Reeve going from Clark Kent to Superman and back with just a simple change in posture and a pair of glasses. Even if you put both characters side-to-side, you would never suspect they were the same guy--a complete transformation with only minor cosmetic changes is the mark of an incredible actor, and Michael definitely accomplished that!

    +masteroftheassassins In my opinion, backstory they came up with is good and works in its own way, but I still prefer the exact backstory from the novel a little more. In the novel, Claude Frollo as a boy loses his entire family to the plague except for Jehan. Him being the last of his family, Claude becomes attached to his younger brother and works hard to educate him and be a good influence on him. Quasimodo's mother was a Gypsy, who was repulsed by his appearance, abandoned him, and stole another woman's baby to replace him. Claude Frollo hears of the incident, finds Quasimodo as a baby, and adopts him, being reminded of Jehan. The stolen baby girl grows up into Esmeralda, whose mother spends the next twenty years in grief, longing to see her again and thinking the Gypsies killed her. I would have loved this version of the play even more if they went with that. Claude choosing to adopt Quasimodo, even when he has no blood-relationship to him, would make it more heartwarming, because it would convey how selfless he was at the time. By making Quasi into Frollo's nephew that he reluctantly adopts out of guilt, it does not start him off as good of a man, and thus making him less tragic. Plus, Frollo seeing Gypsies stealing a child and being told they offered it to the Devil and ate it, would make his prejudice even more understandable. Then, his inability to have a good relationship with Jehan (due to his debauchery and ingratitude) and Quasimodo (because of his deafness and reclusiveness), would makes his yearnings for a new companion more desperate, adding to his torment over his infatuation with Esmeralda. Finally, I thought having Esmeralda's mother in this play would really add a lot, especially since so few adaptations even have her.

    +prettymonsterofevil I was thinking, if I ever directed this, I would have Frollo lead Jehan back into Notre Dame during the "Sanctuary" bit. Then The exchange with Quasimodo would happen, and then Jehan would either fall backwards, drunk, or throw himself over the balcony and die. Character's death would be closer to the book AND it would be excellent foreshadowing about Frollo's fate.

    +MSTe98 Hm, I have been asking myself a lot how, they would be able to handle Jehan's fate in this version of the story. In the book, Jehan is mostly a passive background character, who mainly exists to be an example of how Claude Frollo's family has fallen apart. The only active role he plays in the novel is during the final battle, where Quasimodo, the vagabonds, and the King's men are in a three way battle. Jean wants some excitement, dresses up as one of the vagabonds, storms the Church with them, and is killed by Quasimodo. I would like to have had the same storyline with Jehan and Claude, as I stated in my previous comment, but I have some concerns about ways to hypothetically approach this. The first challenge is that the set-up of the final battle is altered in that Quasimodo and all the vagabonds are now working together against the king's men. There would be no reason for Quasimodo to attack Jehan. Also with the altered set up in the movie/stage version, if Jehan dies fighting alongside the mob, that would drastically change his character from a hedonist who only wants to satisfy his cravings for pleasure and excitement at the expense of everyone around him, into a heroic person. If Jehan is to die, then the only way to keep him true to his book counterpart's character arc is for him to die accidentally in the middle of the carnage, sort of like how you suggested. Still, my other concern is that Jehan's most important role is in shaping Claude's backstory in the beginning. If he does not actively contribute much more to the middle and end, Jehan could end up being a distraction from the rest of the story. Unlike a novel, which can be as long and complex as it wants, a stage show or a film needs to pick a specific set of characters and make sure they are relevent. In my spare time, I enjoy making up movies in my head and putting together sets of around 30 PowerPoint presentations, each one acting like a detailed storyboard for an individual scene. Long before I found out they were making this show at Papermill and La Jolla, I wanted to imagine a live-action remake of Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame that combined the unique elements of the Disney musical and more of the novel's story. I did want to include Jehan and give Frollo the same backstory he has in the book. I ran into the same challenges I stated and I kept on having difficulty keeping him in the foreground with so many other characters from the book I added. I ended up taking liberties. If you are still curious to read the one more paragraph, I wonder what you would think of my idea below *(Edit--They are up on my channel now in a playlist):* I had Jehan first appear in my version of "The Bells of Notre Dame" as a young boy, who briefly interacts with Claude as he finds baby Quasimodo. Then in the following scene, right before "Out There," I added a part where Claude reveals his backstory to Quasimodo and gives a flashback. We learn that Jehan grew up pursuing debauchery and then outright left Claude with all his money (like the Prodigal son parable). Aside from returning to Claude once to ask for more money, Jehan never came back or talked to him again. This leaves Claude Frollo emotionally crippled and is suggested to be a contributing factor towards his descent into madness. So for now, Jehan in my version fulfills the main role he had in the book and is out of the picture, allowing the other characters to be focussed on. However, in the final act of my story, there is a bit where Jehan comes back and meets Phoebus in the bar (another change I made from the Disneyfied story is that I made Phoebus back into the vain womanizer of the novel, added Pierre Gringoire back in, and gave all the heroic traits of the Disneyfied Phoebus to Gringoire). By overhearing his conversations, we find out that he still travels from town to town, leeching off everyone, but then returns to Paris every year for his birthday, never bothering to check up on Claude though. Then, Jehan loses all his money after Phoebus beats him in a drinking game. He is only seen again after the final battle, where Jehan is now distraught and finally considers returning to Claude for good, only to find his older brother's corpse on the ground. So while he is still alive at the end, he still serves as a story of how his own selfishness and indifference to people around him, contributed to him losing his family. His fate in my version would be tragic in its own way since his return was too late to mend the broken bonds and he now has to live with the consequences.

This is actually darker than the movie, which is saying something, because even with its somewhat lightened ending, the end result was still pretty heavy stuff for Disney as the film went. However, this goes beyond that. And of course the music is absolutely brilliant. Having the CD brings back memories of seeing this production.

    0:23 An interesting observation that I made of this: When the two brothers sing "bells" in unison, despite their voices being in harmony, their expressions betray anything but. While Claude's expression is of joy and gratitude, Jehan's is of annoyance and exasperation. I enjoy that little touch, both showing the bond between the brothers, but also the stark differences that will lead to their inevitable separation.

    This is too good not to come to Broadway.. Maybe they still wanna tweak it some more.. It could be that they're holding out til next year so it doesn't have to compete against Hamilton in the Tony Awards?

    It's a pity this isn't heading officially to Broadway...but I have some input about what could make the brother angle stronger: First, have Claude be the one kicked out, by misunderstanding. His expulsion from Notre Dame could set him on a colder path to becoming the Minister of Justice, and strengthening his gypsy prejudice. Jehan could be the Archdeacon after years of regret for his actions, and seldom sees his brother until one night, when Claude throws Quasimodo's mother upon the steps. He urges his brother to raise the child, and offers the bell tower as his shelter. Jehan is gentle towards his half-ward, but similarly feels that he is not ready to embrace society just yet. The climax sees Jehan try to stop Claude from going after Quasimodo, imploring him to remember the memories they shared, to which Claude coldly stabs his brother and goes upstairs. Poignant update that keeps it a fluid and consistent motivation for both characters.

    People love Quasimodo, Phoebus, Emseralda, Frollo, etc. But my personal favorite is Jehan, Frollo’s brother and Quasimodo’s father. After seeing this portrayal of him, he just seems so like able to me. Also, I play the role of Jehan in this musical at my school and I’m very excited to play it after seeing this.

    I know, But this version is meant to be more of a marriage of both the Disney movie and the book, they adopted Frollo as the Archdeacon but combined Phoebus and Gringoire. They still kept the same story as the Disney but added more scenes like with King Louis and Frollo raping Esmeralda, and at the end they adopted the novel's ending which Quasimodo clutches Esmeralda until he died

    Jehan =Caleb Wittebane, hunter Wittebane =Quasimodo, Quasimodo's mother =evelyn, uncle Philip/Emperor Belos =Claude Frollo (both hated the freak lowlife mother of their halfblood "nephew " but still raised the kid). And Esmeralda is Luz and amity is either captain phibous or if we go with notre dame de paris European musical Canon or the hunchback of Paris Argentine musical, I see her as Pierre Gringoire a poet and Esmeralda's husband. Owl House =hunchback aus.
