The cast of the West End’s latest musical took to the roof of Paris’s famous cathedral ahead of their opening night tomorrow.
Notre Dame De Paris runs at the London Coliseum until Sunday, which marks the 5,000th performance of the show that made its debut in the French capital 20 years ago.
The show, based on Victor Hugo’s novel of the same name, uses a mixture of actors, dancers and acrobats to tell the story of hunch-backed bell-ringer Quasimodo and his love for the dancer Esmeralda.
A huge hit in France, the show has toured the world but this is its first return to London since 2000. Angelo Del Vecchio, who plays Quasimodo, first took the part in 2011 and has sung it in French, Italian and English, while Lebanese singer Hiba Tawaji, also above, takes the part of Esmeralda.
Producer Nicolas Talar said he was “delighted” to be bringing the musical to London. “We have been fortunate enough to travel all over the world with this fabulous show and we are excited to bring it to London and share this story with as many people as possible,” he said.
