Here was an article from The Little Mermaid on Broadway, Opening Night from Playbill:
"I think we're starting up Hunchback of Notre Dame, hopefully, next year. Rumor has reached my ear that it's happening." For the present, he's making an opposite carryover than Zambello: "I'm doing an opera, and we're doing a reading of it under the auspices of an organization called American Opera Projects next weekend. It's based on the film, 'Seance on a Wet Afternoon,' with Kim Stanley and Richard Attenborough. [Stanley lost a much-deserved Oscar to Julie Andrews' Mary Poppins.] Very dark, so it's opera."
You can see clips of the German show: Der Glockner Von Notre Dame on 'that site'
Watch them clean this up for Broadway.
It was very dark in the German production. I bet anything they are going to make the mistake of making it not as dark as it once was.
If they do that then the crticis come opening night are going to say I told you so to Disney.
