I'm currently watching the movie and I'm thinking that...
Brian Darcy James would be a wonderful Quasimodo
And that Tom Hewitt could play Frollo
And Niki M. James as Esmeralda would be Phenomenal
What's your thoughts??

Hasn't Patrick Page already been confirmed for Frollo or did I imagine that?

I think Brian D'arcy James is way too old for Quasimodo...at least the Disney Quasimodo...I really wish they would bring Drew Sarich. Karen Olivo is my hope for Esmerelda. Since I first heard/saw videos of her Anita I thought of her in this role.

I think if she wasn't tied up with Aladdin, Courtney Reed could play Esmeralda she has the look for it.

And Patrick Page already confirmed his involvement as Frollo.

Just finished watching it too. Intrigued to see what becomes of the show as it makes it way to Broadway.

Andrew Keenan Bolger, Patrick Page and Nicole Sherzinger

I would really love to see Bertie Carvel as Quasimodo and Idina Menzel as Esmerelda.

I think Clopin will be played by Rob McClure. But, Alan Cumming would be PERFECT a Clopin!

Page is confirmed for the workshop but that doesn't always mean he'll play the part in the full production

he confirmed it at his 54 Below show....

Predicting the casting that will be done by Disney (not dream casting), I suspect Josh Strickland as Quasimodo. Have you seen his rendition of "Made of Stone" he performed at D23 Expo? It was truly breathtaking and he received a standing ovation from some audience members

I wish Michael Arden could continue with the show. But he's in the damn TV show. Argh!
I can still wish, maybe Charlie would let him do it.

I love the idea of Nicole Scherzinger as Esmerelda. My other choice would be Sara Ramirez.

I actually think Ramin would also be awesome for Clopin, if you listen to Tanz Auf Dem Seil from the German production (which Clopin sings), he has more of an operatic sound then in the movie. BTW this is my personal favorite addition to the score. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gsl1l5HC5Dk

Well, I mean, Chad Kimball is the obvious choice for Quasimodo.

If only he could be relied on to hit a high note 8 times a week...

Josh Strickland sounded amazing singing "Made of Stone," but it really made no sense and sounded far from any interpretation of Quasimodo I'd be excited to see. Drew Sarich is great, but might be a little over the hill. I'm hoping for a lesser known actor.

[CurtainPullDowner]

Sarich is a very talented man, but why does his name come up for every role? He's about to be 40, let's cast him age appropriate.
The Disney Hunchback seems to be a younger man's role, what age do most see him?

Michael Arden has been cast.

[blaxx]

Posted: 4/13/14 at 2:34pm

My other choice would be Sara Ramirez.

She has already been cast as the Cathedral of Notre Dame.

Maybe it's just me but after the bad press the casting in ALADDIN gathered, I would love to see a performer of color as Esmerelda.

[CurtainPullDowner]

Posted: 4/13/14 at 4:05pm

What color?

[ARTc3]

Posted: 4/13/14 at 4:13pm

What about Rebecca Naomi Jones? I think it would be a brilliant stretch for her yet one that would be exciting to watch.

I know Ciara Renee has been doing workshops as Esmerelda. 8 years ago, I think Idina would have made a great Esmerelda.
