When I saw the movie, my first words upon leaving the theater were "that score is worthy of a Broadway stage." I've been waiting years to see Hunchback on stage (and I'm bummed I can't get down to La Jolla). It's a wonderful score, and I will defend it vigorously to anyone who would suggest otherwise.

Thank you! I was starting to think I was in the Twilight Zone after reading some comments. When the film was released, the score was highly acclaimed and darn worthy of all the praise. Hearing it again on stage a few weeks ago was a dream come true. Hope you get to see the show eventually!

I love the film score, and most especially the German stage score, which was my driving force to want to see this new version. The inclusion of Sacra Profana as the choir was a brilliant choice. The critical comments made by me and others were primarily focused on the script, not the music, though I don't so much care for a few of the new songs, I.e., the tambourine bit by Esmarelda. The original songs and new ones from Berlin are great on stage.
