Alpha's Hunchback, loosely based on the Victor Hugo novel, aims to instil in the audience a sense of the importance of resilience in times of hardship and oppression from those more powerful than us, and how even small changes in our physiology and heart can have lasting impact.

Quasimodo leads the way for the audience to follow as he lets go of the pain of his past & finds his true purpose, becomes who he truly is and lives with love, instead of fear.

There's everything you would want, including sword fights, a lot of audience interaction and fantastic music. Extremely funny and appealing to children and grown ups alike, you will be pleasantly surprised at how we have woven together a story full of magic, intrigue, romance, adventure and yell-out fun!

Mesmerising and guaranteed to capture the imagination and attention of every child in your school!

Alpha's version of 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' uses the classic literature tale to create a fun and crazy show. A love story that looks beneath the surface, a villain who is as nasty as they come (you can't help but boo!), hilarious characters taken from Australian panto land and a happy ending worth celebrating, this story has a great theme and is perfect for responsible storytelling for children. Bullying themes are subtle and not preachy, but 'right there' for children to see and feel and make real choices about, especially in terms of behaviour and consequence.
