A Powerful and Visually Striking Costume Set

Our complete costume set for Hunchback of Notre Dame has been created to deliver strong visual storytelling on stage, combining rich textures, layered fabrics and bold character silhouettes.

From the dramatic cathedral presence to the bustling streets of Paris, every element has been designed to immerse audiences in a darker, more atmospheric world.


Synopsis

Set in 15th-century Paris, The Hunchback of Notre Dame tells the story of Quasimodo, the bell-ringer of Notre Dame, hidden away from society by the manipulative Archdeacon Frollo.

When he encounters the free-spirited Esmeralda, his world begins to change — revealing themes of love, acceptance, obsession and moral conflict.

A sweeping score by Alan Menken and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz bring Victor Hugo’s masterpiece to life in a production that is both visually spectacular and deeply moving.

  • Full principal character costumes
