Quasimodo - The Hunch is Back! (3)

As promised, the set design of Notre Dame's facade.  Fantastic!

Quasimodo - The Hunch is Back! (2)

Showstoppers Academy of Dance joined rehearsals today going through a jazzy song-and-dance routine with The Madri Gals, a trio of nuns who think they can make it all the way to Broadway.  We'd like to think that Victor Hugo wouldn't mind the inclusion of 11th Hour's own Sister Act trio featuring in our show!

Meanwhile our Quasimodo, Esmeralda, Frollo and Pheobus reheared several of their scenes before everyone in the company came together to go through the Festival of Fools' scene.

With three weeks to go until the show then there is a huge amount of work to be done - and masks to be made by the children for the Festival of Fools scene (you won't be needing one Quasimodo!).

If you haven't been to an 11th Hour youth company show previously then you can get a flavour of what to expect by watching highlights from Act I Dick Whittington here.

Quasimodo - The Hunch is Back!

We are really pleased with how the rehearsal went this week with the atmosphere light and relaxed. The show is now starting to take shape.

Lines are starting to stick, and with half-term next week then there will ample opportunity to make further improvements.   The opening numbers and choreography look fantastic and the audience are in for a treat!

Progress is also being made on the design of Notre Dame's facade, and we hope to post the final design next week.

Quasimodo - March 11th, 12th and 13th

After a hectic January preparing and performing Equus, we can now concentrate all our energies on the youth theatre's next production. Scripts for Quasimodo are finally with the cast, and with less than five weeks to the show line learning is very much the order of the day. The youth theatre members are used to having to learn their lines quickly, but this will be a real challenge for them. We look forward to seeing their progress at next week's rehearsals.
