I have to think that Disney is intent on bringing the show to Broadway. The dates in La Jolla have been extended and the show is selling pretty darn well. Guess we just have to wait and see.

The attempt was to not use any modern technology, that is why they used the silk for hot lead etc... it just comes off as a cheap parlor trick though.

Also, they bring in a little curtained stage and drop in a giant maypole for the "Topsy Turvy," "Rhythm of the Tambourine" section. The Court of Miracles has two giant stone pieces that fly in and are pushed together to form a circle to cover the cathedral and a drop and giant circular stone entrance that covers the stained glass window area are flown in.

That picture of the set does not show the beautiful Saint statues that are stacked 3 high on each side of the set. They look great. Also, the checkerboard floor lights up in the front for several effects to work.

Not sure why they moved it. It would have been a far better end to act 1 than Esmeralda. Yep. Just Esmeralda and Phoebus.

I would go but all of the reasonably priced tickets have been snatched up. Do shills get discounts?
That's right! Underscore mother-fu@#ers!"
I would not know. I paid $92 for my wife and I to sit in opposite sections of the theatre.

Ok, so I am going to give you the things that I hated. I am in no way related to Disney. I have my own production company in Socal. I simply liked the show for the most part. Here are a list of things that may be spoilers that I did not like STOP READING NOW IF YOU DO NOT WANT SPOILERS****
So one of the things that I hated was that they used performers in normal costumes to portray Gargoyles. Really they cut the idea of Gargoyles completely. It simply did not work. Often

I think it could do well. It is a very pretty show. The concerns I have for the show are that it does not really have any tunes that make you leave the theatre humming them. The music is beautiful, and I enjoyed it, but aside from "God Help The Outcast," "Hellfire," and maybe the "Bells of Notre Dame" there are not a lot of songs that people will remember. That said the show still looks and sounds amazing. They have changed a bit from the original Disney script as well. There is one other thin

My review of Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" La Jolla Playhouse

As I walked into the Mandell Weiss Theatre for a Sunday evening performance of Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," I was met by a towering set that filled the stage from edge to edge and top to bottom. It was well crafted, and I knew I was going to be in for something special.
As I sat down in my second row seat the scenery by Scenic Designer Alexander Dodge, seemed even more towering. On each side of the set, were gothic statues stacked three high and looking upon you a
