I’m going to start a new series called Talented Colleagues! I’ll showcase friends and peers who I think are stellar and worth showcasing! The first one is a threesome. (hee hee) Don’t mind me, sometimes I’m a 12 year-old. Anyway, Jeremy (Claude Frolo), Dana (Esmerelda), and George (Quasimodo) were the leads of Dennis DeYoung’s Hunchback of Notre Dame that went up at Bailiwick Repertory.
This production got mixed reviews and honestly, I can understand why. I saw the show two times and while Dennis DeYoung certainly knows how to write a melody, the book still needs some work.
One thing that was absolutely spectacular, however, were the performances of the three leads. They poured their hearts into their roles and literally BLED on that stage. I was exhausted just watching them. For those that didn’t get a chance to see them on stage or were turned off by the reviews, please enjoy these fantastic performances.
