How often do you go to see a musical at a local theater only to be transported to another time and place forgetting your own day to day drama? Last night we were enthralled by Nancy Curran Willis’ production of Hunchback of Notre Dame at Concord Players. From the moment you step into the theater, you are in the medieval cathedral in Paris with exquisitely crafted stained glass windows, and in the tower with Quasimodo, the stone saints and gargoyles. The choir lofts held the most magnificent voices as were those of the entire cast. From the set to the wonderful costumes, the pace of the show had people holding their breath. Such highs and lows with crescendos’ that punctuated the air. I have yet to see such a tight nit cast all of equally professional level talent. The dance and fight numbers were spot and well choreographed. One would hardly know there was such a large orchestra that became one with the singers. You empathize with each character, getting caught up in their own plight, one that resonates with us all. It truly is a tour de force! Congratulations Nancy! Please don’t miss this fabulous show playing...
