In one of Neil Simon’s most popular comedies, hilarity ensues as we glimpse into the relationships of three couples who occupy the same suite at the Plaza Hotel. There is a suburban couple who find themselves in the same suite where they honeymooned 23 years earlier. Next is a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for an encounter. And, finally, a mother and father struggling to get their bride-to-be daughter out of the locked bathroom.

The cast.

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME
ROYAL Theatre Company
May 25-27
Mason High School

Directed by Dirk Doebereiner
Choreographed by Jay Goodlett

Based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame showcases the film’s Academy Award-nominated score, as well as new songs by Menken and Schwartz. The musical begins as the bells of Notre Dame sound through the famed cathedral in fifteenth-century Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer who longs to be “Out There,” observes all of Paris reveling in the Feast of Fools. Held captive by his devious caretaker, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, he escapes for the day and joins the boisterous crowd, only to be treated cruelly by all but the beautiful gypsy, Esmeralda. Quasimodo isn’t the only one captivated by her free spirit, though – the handsome Captain Phoebus and Frollo are equally enthralled. As the three vie for her attention, Frollo embarks on a mission to destroy the gypsies – and it’s up to Quasimodo to save them all.
