Welcome to the Powerhouse Theatre Collaborative's latest Voice of the Actors Podcast. Stay with us now as we introduce and explore the Colonial Theatre's resident theatre company’s latest production opening on May 2, the epic musical extravaganza, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Based on Victor Hugo's 1831 classic novel, this lushly scored production explores love, acceptance, and what it means to be a hero. Set in 1482, Hunchback has a little bit of everything. And as a musical, with a cast of 71 performers -- including a full choir, a set of gargoyles, ghosts, statues, fire dancers, and citizens -- it's a major spectacle opening soon on the Colonial stage. Not only that, but this production also follows shortly after the famous cathedral in Paris was reopened after an extensive renovation following the tragic April 2019 fire that nearly destroyed this major symbol of France, which was completed way back in 1260.
