Topic: Der Glockner von Notre Dame

To go along with the current trend of epic musicals based on the works of Victor Hugo, I thought Teague in particular might find this of interest. The only place a stage version of Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame has been produced is in Berlin, and it is EPIC. It's far darker than the movie

  Show
(Esmeralda dies at the end, and Quasimodo hurls Frollo to his death, as per the book)
, and the songs are freaking amazing in German, as evidenced here.

They are not. German and singing do not mix.

One wouldn't think so, but I was surprised at how good it sounded on softer songs, and the dark, weighty songs like "Hellfire" sound even more dark and weighty.
