Menken and Schwartz interview, interesting quotes

The development of Hunchback for the stage, Menken says, has been "a steady evolution."

"It's emotionally deeper. We're liberated from needing to... reach the family audience as we did in animation. Even though I believe this can reach a family audience, this definitely lives much more on the adult side of Hunchback."

Yay, this is what I wanted.

We are bringing more nuance to the character of Frollo," the cathedral's archdeacon and Quasimodo's adoptive father, exploring "how Frollo became who he is, and the complexity inside him."

So Frollo is back to his original job from the book.

The current stage version, says Schwartz, has "a different ending" and about "ten new songs or pieces of songs." Some were in the European version, "and some we wrote specifically for this one."

Okay I still think Esmeralda isn't going to die in this version unlike the German one but hay it's intresting. On the songs Der Glöckner von Notre Dame song list is as;

Act I[21]

"Ein bisschen Freude" ("Rest and Recreation") – Phoebus
"Schneller, Schneller III" ("Hurry, Hurry III") - Gypsies & Frollo
"Drunter drüber" ("Topsy Turvy") – Clopin, Quasimodo & Crowd

"Die Glocken Notre Dames III" ("The Bells of Notre Dame III") - Clopin & Frollo
"Finale Act 1" - Clopin & Chorus
"Esmeralda" – Frollo, Quasimodo, Phoebus, Esmeralda, Clopin & Soldiers

Act II

"Trommeln in der Stadt" ("City under Siege") – Clopin & Parisians
"Ein Mann wie du" ("A Guy Like You") – Antoine, Charles, Loni & Quasimodo
"Esmeralda (Reprise)" - Frollo
"Weil du liebst" ("Out of Love") – Quasimodo, Phoebus, Antoine, Charles & Loni
"Tanz der Zigeuner" ("Dance of the Gypsies") - Orchestra
"Weil du liebst reprise ("Out of Love reprise") – Phoebus, Esmeralda & Quasimodo
"Die Glocken Notre Dames IV" ("The Bells of Notre Dame IV") - Clopin & Frollo
"Zuflucht reprise" ("Sanctuary reprise") - Frollo
"Wie aus Stein" ("Made of Stone") – Quasimodo, Loni, Charles & Antoine
"Einmal" ("Someday") – Esmeralda, Phoebus & Parisians
"Finale Ultimo" ("Grand Finale") – Full Company

Of the ones written for the German production I think Esmeralda (it works thematically with the main characters singing about her) and Made Of Stone (its a fantastic 11o'clock number and was performed at D23) will definitely make it I think Dance of the Gypsies will be out (with Court of Miracles returning). I'm unsure on the rest. Someday was written for the film (played over the credits at the end) so I think it's remain.

For those interested here's a playlist of the German recording (it's missing Bell's of Notre Dame and Made of stone though);
