Notre-Dame de Paris, le spectacle musical (Paris, December 2016)

Daniel Lavoie, Hiba Tawaji, Angelo del Vecchio, Martin Giroux and Jay, curtain call, Notre-Dame de Paris, November 2016, Le Palais des Congrès, Paris

When I come to theater I am after some magic. What exactly do I mean by magic? Well, a well-made solid production (or any art work for that matter) usually fits the formula: 1+1=2, while the one with magic in it is more like 1+1=6¿#dh7. In the new production of Notre-Dame de Paris the musical (NDDP) I found exactly this kind of magic in Victor Hugo's story, Riccardo Cocciante's music, Hiba Tawaji's Esmeralda and Daniel Lavoie's Frollo.
