Based on the novel by Victor Hugo and the Disney film originally developed by Disney Theatrical Productions, The Hunchback of Notre Dame has music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, and a book by Peter Parnell.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame first opened in Berlin in 1999, with a book by James Lapine, under the name Der Glöckner von Notre Dame. In 2014, a new version premiered in San Diego with a new book by Parnell and additional songs from Menken and Schwartz. This version has gone on to be produced by multiple U.S. regional theatres and has had productions in Japan, Germany, and Australia.
