In 1661, when only men played women on England's theater stages, Edward Kynaston reigned supreme as London's most celebrated leading lady. But when actress Margaret Hughes persuades King Charles II to allow actual females to take the stage, the king's own courtesan, Nell Gwynn, and Kynaston's former dresser, Maria, become stars while Kynaston's career may be cut short -- spurring him down a path of revenge and reinvention. Jeffrey Hatcher's hilarious, yet poignant play was also adapted into the film Stage Beauty with Billy Crudup and Claire Danes. Learn More

This performance was FANTASTIC! I really didn't expect much when I paid a low price for these tickets. And when we arrived and saw the "scenery" which consisted of two ugly cloth "comforters" I really thought we'd be leaving soon; we sat in the back row so we could "sneak" out without notice. But, when the musical play began it became clear after a few minutes that these were VERY accomplished singing actors of the first caliber! The piano music was beautful. The scenes were VERY dramatic! I could go on but you get the idea. This experience was so good that I gave the guy at the front door an extra $20 as I LEFT the performance! I kid you not!Written on Feb 04 2008

It was ok but he description of the venue or my interpretation did not match. The props were quite bare and the flow seemed to lack transitioning or not enough beats to allow for better transitioning. The title should have been "Esmeralda" instead of Hunchback of Notre Dame - more focused on Esmeralda than Hunchback of Notre Dame - also Esmeralda looked more like Snow White than a gympsy woman.Written on Feb 04 2008

A wonderfully staged musical, with beautiful music, costumes and strong performers. The Victor Hugo story is a timeless tale about intolerance, hypocrisy and love. The show is like seeing "Les Miserables" in an intimate setting!Written on Feb 04 2008

Exciting and excellent flow of action, seamless scene-to-scene activities.Written on Feb 11 2008
Top-drawer performances overall.
At least three of the majors had Broadway-quality performance level and voices.
Pianist had a daunting job providing all the music to his wonderful drama, and he came through remarkably.
Fantastic!

Description
<p>This Broadway-style musical adaptation of Victor Hugo's classic packs an emotional wallop with a dramatic tale of love, obsession and sacrifice. The show is performed in the sanctuary of St. Matthew's Church, complete with vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows and choir loft -- all imagined to be the soaring arcs, parapets and bells of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.</p>
<p>This adaptation has been paired down, tightened and revised from the version that first opened in Culver City in 1996, which was nominated as LA Weekly's "Pick of the Week" and received five Dramalogue Awards.</p>

Music by William A. Reilly
