Quasimodo – PAID ROLE – (Male, Any Ethnicity, 20s-30s) the deformed bell-ringer of Notre Dame and Claude Frollo’s charge; lonely and staunchly obedient to Frollo, he possesses a vivid imagination that brings to life the bells and gargoyles of the cathedral; despite his shyness and uncertainty, he quickly befriends Esmeralda. Big-hearted, and brave; vocal range: Bb2-C5. 

Esmeralda – PAID ROLE – (Female, Any Ethnicity, 18-30s) captivating, beautiful, and free-spirited gypsy who possesses the strong sense of justice and morality that Frollo lacks; compassionate, she frees Quasimodo from the frenzied mob at the Feast of Fools and, against her better judgment, falls for the arrogant Phoebus; vocal range: E3-D5. 

Phoebus de Martin – (Male, Any Ethnicity, 20s-40s) returning to Paris after serving in the war, Phoebus takes up his new position as Captain of the Cathedral Guard; overconfident yet charming, this handsome, strong soldier makes the ladies swoon, yet his moral compass is also strong, and he openly defies the corrupted Frollo; vocal range: A2-Ab4. 

Clopin Trouillefou – (Male or Female, Any Ethnicity, 20s-40s) the clever and charismatic King of the Gypsies; an air of mystery surrounds Clopin, witty and playful, but he boasts a darker, serious nature when not ‘performing for the crowd’; vocal range: D3- F#5.
