Hunchback Callbacks
Listed first is solo material, at the end is small group/duets. Sheet music and lyrics will be provided at callbacks, and we will go over the melodies of the songs briefly. Due to short turn around time between auditions and callbacks, if you think you may be called back, here is the material to look over!
Quasimodo
Out There
Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives
Through the roofs and gables I can see them
Every day they shout and scold and go about their lives
Heedless of the gift it is to be them
If I were in their skin, I'd treasure every instant
Out there, strolling by the Seine
Taste a morning out there, like ordinary men
Who freely walk about there
Just one day and then I swear I'll be content
With my share
Won't resent
Won't despair
Old and bent
I won't care
I'll have spent one day out there!
Made of Stone
And now I'm on my own
Never again to wonder what's out there
Let it remain unknown
And my one human eye
Will evermore be dry
Until the day I die
As if I
Were made of stone!
Frollo
Hellfire
It's not my fault
I'm not to blame
It is the gypsy girl
The witch who sent this flame
It's not my fault
If in God's plan
He made the devil so much
Stronger than a man
Protect me, Maria
Don't let the siren cast her spell
Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone
Destroy Esmeralda
And let her taste the fires of Hell!
Or else let her be mine and mine alone
Hellfire
Dark fire
Now gypsy, it's your turn
Choose me or
Your pyre
Be mine or you will burn
God have mercy on her
God have mercy on me
But she will be mine
Or she will burn!
Phoebus
Rest and Recreation
Summoned here to Paris now, I'm far away from battle
From clotting blood and rotting wounds of dead and dying men
And whatever I do
I'll make sure this is true
I will never go back again!
Darling, to be blunt
You are with the best
That's why I've been blessed
With this promotion
I've been working hard
Now I'm gonna be
Captain of the Guard
Ain't that a notion?
Like other true knights
I've got ambition
But for a few nights
Fun is my mission
So what do you say?
Care to share a day
Of rest and recreation!
Clopin
Topsy Turvy Pt. 1
Once a year, we throw a party here in town
Once a year, we turn all Paris upside-down
Ev'ry man's a king and ev'ry king's a clown
Once again it's topsy turvy day
It's the day the devil in us gets released
It's the day we mock the prig and shock the priest
Ev'rything is topsy turvy at the feast of fools
Court of Miracles
Maybe you've heard of a terrible place
Where the scoundrels of Paris collect in a lair
Maybe you've heard of that mythical place called the Court of Miracles
Brother, you're there!
Where the lame can walk
And the blind can see
But the dead don't talk
So you won't be around
To reveal what you've found
We have a method for spies and intruders
Not terribly different from bees in a hive
Here in the Court of Miracles where...
It's a miracle...
If you get out alive.
Saint Aphrodisius
Flight Into Egypt
Saint Aphrodisius, the Bishop of Beziers
I was beheaded by a mob in Place Saint-Cyr
And though I made a choice
I did not know would bring
My grisly martyring
I wouldn't change a thing
For I kept safe and free
The holy family
On that flight into Egypt
Land of the date and palm
I offered shelter
To her who is Notre Dame
If that's what I could do
Then Quasimodo, you can too
Esmeralda
Rhythm of the Tambourine
Men of Paris
Before we get old
Come feel the heat
Come taste the desire
Feel them within you
Crimson and gold
Gold like the coins
You will toss into my tambourine
When I dance
To the rhythm of the tambourine!
God Help the Outcasts
I ask for nothing
I can get by
But I know so many
Less lucky than I
Please help my people (Choir: Amen)
The poor and downtrod
I thought we all were
The children of God
God help the outcasts
Children of God
Children of God
Esmeralda, Phoebus, Quasimodo, Clopin
In A Place of Miracles
QUASIMODO
I knew I'd never know
That warm and loving glow
Though I might wish with all my might
No face as hideous as my face
Was ever meant for Heaven's light
ESMERALDA
All this time, I've been certain
That my life would be spent alone
QUASIMODO
This time, it's time, I've learned
No love will be returned
To one who was born to be alone
ESMERALDA
And what's more, I've pretended
Not to care
QUASIMODO
Who looks both laughable and frightening
PHOEBUS: But now I'm here beside you
QUASIMODO
And now I know there'll be
No miracles for me
PHOEBUS & ESMERALDA
No more need for a heart of stone
QUASIMODO
Better to have a heart of stone!
PHOEBUS & ESMERALDA
Though we set out for lands unknown
They're lands we'll share
QUASIMODO
That holds no hope for Heaven's light
ALL
Will we reach a friendlier shore?
Will we find a haven once more?
Where we'll be
In a place of miracles
Now we leave our home
For a place of miracles
CLOPIN
Romanies again must roam
Could there be a country kinder to our race?
GYPSIES
In a place of miracles
QUASIMODO
Where's my place of miracles?
PHOEBUS
In a place
ALL
Of miracles!
Frollo and Quasimodo
Out There
Frollo
The world is cruel
The world is wicked
It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole city
I am your only friend
I who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you
I who look upon you without fear
How can I protect you, boy, unless you
Always stay in here
Away in here
Remember what I taught you, Quasimodo
You are deformed
Quasimodo
I am deformed
Frollo
And you are ugly
Quasimodo
And I am ugly
Frollo
And these are crimes
For which the world
Shows little pity
You do not comprehend
Quasimodo
You are my one defender
Frollo
Out there they'll revile you
As a monster
Quasimodo
I am a monster
Frollo
Out there they will hate
And scorn and jeer
Quasimodo
Only a monster
Frollo
Why invite their calumny
And consternation?
Stay in here
Be faithful to me
Quasimodo
I'm faithful
Frollo
Grateful to me
Quasimodo
I'm grateful
Frollo
Do as I say
Obey
And stay
In here
Quasimodo
I'll stay
In here
