The Hunchback of Notre Dame musical opens in less than a week! This show is directed by DJ Swartz (director of Jesus Christ Superstar and Sweeney Todd) with Taylor Kozlowski as music director and Katherine Marchiano as Asst. Director. It stars a cast of professionally-trained vocalists, led by Lucas Smith (Quasimodo) Jared Crouch (Frollo) Isabella Sciortino (Esmeralda) Alex Reiser (Phoebus) and Danielle Burning (Clopin.)

This musical features songs from the 1996 Disney film, along with additional songs. It tells the story of Quasimodo, who lives in the famous Notre Dame cathedral, hidden away from the world, and deals with important themes that remain relevant to humanity. This is based on the original novel by Victor Hugo.

Our set promises to be the most spectacular set you've seen on The Ghostlight stage to date. We can't wait for you to experience The Hunchback of Notre Dame when we open next week!

The show runs February 13-23. Preorder at starrynighttheatre.com or call 716-743-1614.

Every winter we like to bring out the classic plays to perform for you. Such plays as Frankenstein, Jekyll/Hyde, Little Women, Our Town and so many more.

Happy Lunar New Year to those who celebrate! (and Happy Wednesday to those who don’t!)

If you were born in 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, or 2013, you were born in a year of the snake. According to the Chinese Zodiac, those born in a year of the snake are intelligent, intuitive and charming. Snake years are a good time to shed (get it? 😉) the old you, negative energy, and begin anew!
