Hunchback

We’re in the middle of a 2-show day at Vintage Church and we just had to share more production photos of The Hunchback of Notre Dame by @curtisbrownphotography ! Looking forward to welcoming another audience this evening!

Just down the hall from the sanctuary at Vintage Church, there’s another kind of magic happening. While The Hunchback of Notre Dame unfolds on stage, our phenomenal orchestra is tucked away in the toddler room, performing Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz’s stunning score live every show. Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at the music behind the story. 🎼 (Audio from opening night exit music) 🎹Music Director/Key 1: @les_wick 🎹Associate Music Director/Key 2: @pb_the_md 🪈Reed 1: @tjazuma 🎷Reed 2: @nickyplayswoodwinds 🎶Reed 3: Ger Vang 🎺Trumpet: Darrion Keck 📯Horn: Anne Nye 🎻Violin 1: @mollyjhines 🎻Violin 2/Viola: Sherry Lattin 🎻Cello: @davislingner 🥁Percussion: @caseydsola 🎥: @tjazuma

A story of sanctuary and judgment. Of devotion, obsession, and the quiet courage of those who long to be seen. Tonight, the timeless world of The Hunchback of Notre Dame comes to life inside Vintage Church in downtown Raleigh. Julian R.

A celebration of Raleigh arts - and a collaboration of epic proportions. 🎭🎼 Bringing a score as rich and complex as The Hunchback of Notre Dame to the stage requires extraordinary artistry. That’s why Theatre Raleigh is so thrilled to partner with our friends at the North Carolina Master Chorale for this production - opening TOMORROW NIGHT! Led by Music Director Al Sturgis, the Master Chorale is one of North Carolina’s premier community arts organizations, celebrating eight decades as a cornerstone of our local cultural landscape. Celebrated as the primary chorus of the Carolina Ballet and a frequent guest of the NC Symphony, their auditioned singers represent the extraordinary talent thriving right here in our community. For this production, an ensemble of approximately 45 Master Chorale vocalists joins our cast and a live orchestra to bring unmatched depth and power to Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz’s legendary Latin chants and majestic harmonies. Watching these two Raleigh arts organizations blend their talents in rehearsal has been pure magic. There is truly nothing like the energy of local artists coming together to create something this massive. 🎟️ To everyone who grabbed their tickets, we can’t wait to share this unforgettable night with you tomorrow. 🔔✨ #TheatreRaleigh #NCMasterChorale #HunchbackOfNotreDame #RaleighArts

A peek into the sitzprobe for The Hunchback of Notre Dame last night - “Top of the World”! The theatre magic is coming together piece by piece and we’re so excited for audiences to experience this magical show next week!

It’s time for the orchestra’s first rehearsal together for The Hunchback of Notre Dame with Music Director Leslie Wickham! Tomorrow the cast, choir, and orchestra will come together for the first time at sitzprobe. Less than two weeks to opening!

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. ✨
