So here is a question. How many Casts are used in this ad?
My Guess is 4; London (audio), Original French dvd, 2005 Asian Tour Cast, and the Russian Cast (I believe I spotted Alexander Postolenko as Gringoire at 21 seconds).
So the ad doesn’t use the cast that will be performing the play but here is a follow-up question. Which member of the World Tour Cast is in the ad?
If you said Matt Laurent, you’re obessed with Notre Dame de Paris, Good for you!
Bonus Videos
Richard Charest as Gringoire singing Ages of the Cathedrals.
I think he sounds pretty good in English.
And news coverage (can hear Charest, Carlye, and Ferrari singing)
According to http://www.crocus-hall.ru/events/notre this is the cast list for the World Tour of Notre Dame de Paris, which has a lot of former cast members.
Alessandra Ferrari as Esmeralda
Quasimodo – Matt Laurent
Esmeralda – Alessandra Ferrari
Gringoire – Matteo Setti Richard Charest
Phoebus – Yvan Pedneault
Frollo – Robert Marien
Fleur de Lys – Elica MacKenzie
Clopin- Ian Carlyle
Helene Segara as Esmeralda in the Prison dress design Fred Sathal Notre Dame de Paris
Here an idea for the lady who loves Notre Dame de Paris and wants to combine it into a ghoulish Halloween Costume.
Make the white dress she wears in the second act. I would suggest Butterick 5710
Then buy a fake noose
Varations – You could get a plain white chemise
The Undead Notre Dame de Paris Esmeralda is a costume I would make for Halloween.

A new picture from Lacombe’s second book of his graphic novel version of Notre Dame de Paris. It’s very pretty.
Lacombe’s Esmeralda Notre Dame de Paris
It’s a lovely rendition and the video takes more straight forward approach to the visuals than the Arena version where is lost in an labyrinth.
This song is on Dion’s All The Way…A Decade of Song
Romeo et Juliette 2012 Japan Tour promotion
The very Popular French Musical Romeo et Juliette is touring is Japan. And guess which two Notre Dame de Paris alumni are in it? The answer is Cyril Niccolai and Candice Parise.
Cyril Niccolai as Romeo
Niccolai who is playing Romeo played Gringoire in the 2001 Morgdor cast. He has also been Benvolio in a previous Romeo et Juliette cast.
Candice Parise
Parise who played Esmeralda in the 2011-2012 Asian Tour cast is the understudy for Juliette. Juliette is played by Joy Esther who was married to Damien Sargue who played Romeo in the original cast and also was the understudy for Gringoire and Phoebus in the original cast of Notre Dame de Paris.
Takarazuka version Romeo et Juliette
Also this isn’t the first the version of Romeo et Juliette has been performed in Japan. The did a 2010 version and The world famous Takarazuka troupe did a version of it. The Takarazua is an all female musical troupe. It probadly won’t happen but I can’t help but to hope that they will perform a version of Notre Dame de Paris.
