The Hunchback of Notre Dame





"It (your work) is very impressive. I read the script and was engaged by how you dramatized the story. I was especially intrigued by the music, which is truly captivating".

Howard Zinn, American Historian, Boston University and author of "A People's History of the United States"




Praised by the Wings Theatre Company, New York City and Irish theater director Noel McDonough of Trinity College, Dublin, the Hunchback stage musical has been released on CD, distributed internationally by Original Cast Records.
