Another behind-the-scenes moment from rehearsal… The Hunchback of Notre Dame doesn’t begin with a typical Broadway opening—it begins with a prayer. Those haunting opening “ah”s immediately set this score apart, blending the soaring emotion of musical theatre with the grandeur of sacred choral music. It’s bold, breathtaking, and unlike anything else in the musical theatre canon. This is where it all begins. Before the lights, before the costumes, before the stunning architecture of Vintage Church becomes part of the storytelling, these voices lay the foundation for the journey ahead. We’re so grateful that audiences will soon experience this production, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to Vintage Church August 12–15. Until then, enjoy another little behind-the-scenes glimpse from rehearsal. ✨

Our 2027 Main Stage Season is officially on the horizon, and you won’t want to miss a single moment. Mark your calendars and get ready to secure your seats!
