i thought the Quasimodo on the german recording was good, and he is american so there should not be any equity problems, lol, but he may be too old now.

i also thought Philip Quast from les mis would be a great frolo

esmirelda could be eden or even heather headley

as for the gargoyles, would be cool to have jason alexander and the guy from murphy brown to reprize their roles, but it seems the gargoyles arent as humourous as in the movie so that may not work too good.

in the end i would not really care who they cast, i just wish they would do it cause the sets are amazing

and

WERNT THEY SUPPOSED TO BE DOING A LIVE ACTION MADE FOR TV MOVIE ABOUT IT???

WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT

^^ Ooooh, Phillip Quast is a GREAT choice!

Phillip Quast is a good choice. As are Espinosa and Ramirez for Esmeralda. Maria Conchita Alonso would probably make a sexy Esmeralda also.

Ernie Sabella is another obvious choice for Hugo and Patrick Wilson would be a hot Phoebus.

yeah I wonder what happened to the plans for the live action movie. The news is till up on www.musicalschwartz.com so hopefully those plans haven't been forgotten. They really should bring this to Bway. It's my fave Disney movie.
I think Mandy Gonzalez would be an ideal choice as Esmeralda. I really like the idea of George Hearn as Frollo briliant choice! And I think Quasi should be played by someone new. Please Stephen Schwartz and Alan Menken...beg Disney to bring this bway!

Quasimodo-Shuler Hensley
Esmeralda-Christy Carlson Romano
Frollo-Terrence Mann
Phebous-Adam Pascal
Victor-Alan Cumming
Laverne-Eartha Kitt
Hugo-John C Riley
Clopin-Raul Esparza

Seriously I think Romano and Pascal would look great together. Kitt would be a funny Laverne. Same thing with Cumming and Riely

Adam Pascal as Phoebus?! I don't know...

[PhantomMag234]

Well If you don't like it BwayBaby how about Matthew Morrison as Phebous?

Does this movie have the horrible Disney happy ending, or the tragic ending from the book?

I cringe when I think about how Disney has butchered this classic.

The Disney movie has the ending where Phebous and Esmeralda finally get together and Quasimodo finally feels belonged.
The Disney Berlin Musical ending has Esmeralda dying after almost being burned at the stake.

maybe Matthew Morrison, the reason why I don't think Adam Pascal won't work, not that I hate him, l love him. I just don't think his rock like voice could work with the score. On the Berlin cast, Phoebus is played by a baritone. Maybe a fresh face would have to work there because I can't really think of anyone right now that could work.

How many of you think Matthew Morrison and Christy Carlson Romano
as Phebous and Esmeralda?

[LilMiZBroADwaY23]

I keep mixing up Clopin and Frollo in my head...

but Alan Rickman as Frollo is almost perfect casting. I just wish I knew if he could sing or not.

OMG my friend and I planned this entire show out like months ago late late late one night so of course i can't remember anything...except Hugh Panaro was the hunchback and the two of were the only chorus members.haha. now that I've seen her I think Sara Ramirez could be good as Esmeralda.
