<http://www.bailiwick.org/calendar/show_detail.php?ID=258> NOTRE DAME starts
performances at Bailiwick <http://www.bailiwick.org/> on May 8, and you do
not want to miss this production! Featuring a cast of twenty, and a
six-piece band, HUNCHBACK will be a thrilling environmental experience in

This production of
<http://www.bailiwick.org/calendar/show_detail.php?ID=258> THE HUNCHBACK OF
NOTRE DAME (with book, music, and lyrics by Dennis DeYoung) is being
presented in a way that had never been seen before! A classic love triangle
between the gypsy, Esmeralda; the priest, Frollo; and the deformed
bell-ringer, Quasimodo;
<http://www.bailiwick.org/calendar/show_detail.php?ID=258> THE HUNCHBACK OF
NOTRE DAME is a perfect match for the theatrical sensibility of its
composer, rock legend Dennis DeYoung, whose songs like "Lady," "Come Sail
Away," and "Mr. Roboto" are treasured classics in the American rock music
canon. The soaring ballads and driving musicality of DeYoung's score are a
perfect match for this story - set against the spires of the world's most
beloved cathedral. Bailiwick Artistic Director David Zak directs the epic
tale. <http://www.bailiwick.org/calendar/show_detail.php?ID=258>


Leading the cast as the deformed, hunched-back bell-ringer Quasimodo is
GEORGE ANDREW WOLFF, recently seen understudying the roles of Leaf
Coneybear, Vice Principal Panch and William Barfee in the Chicago production
of William Finn's THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE. Playing
Esmerelda, the entrancing Gypsy with a heart of gold, is DANA TRETTA, who is
making her <http://www.bailiwick.org/> Bailiwick debut fresh off her
stunning turn as Sally Bowles in the Jeff Recommended smash hit production
of CABARET at Theo Uibique. JEREMY RILL playing the evil priest Frollo,
completes the classic love triangle. Mr. Rill was last seen on the
<http://www.bailiwick.org/> Bailiwick stage in a star-making turn as
Satan/Warm-Up Man in JERRY SPRINGER: THE OPERA during the summer of 2007.

JIM RANK, recently seen in Next's AMERICAN SONGBOOK, portrays the dashing
Phoebus, the brave soldier who wins Esmerelda's heart. LIZ PAZIK, who
played Mrs. Fezziwig on the National Tour of SCROOGE, will play the role of
Mahiette! The principal casting is rounded out by Bailiwick favorites
MICHAEL HARNICHAR as Sergeant Gudule, and JOE TOKARZ as Clopin.

The ensemble features KATHLEEN GIBSON, BERNADETTE GARZA, NANCY KOLTON,
SHANNON STRODEL, JOANNA LIND, EMILY THOMPSON, JEFF WARD, CAMERON JOHNSON,

I screwed up. I was scheduled to go to the opening night with the reception, but I spaced on the date and I booked my Australia/Japan trip at the same time.

Sucks to be me on one level. I'll have to catch it another time.
