Youngstown Playhouse will have auditions March 7 and 8 for its upcoming production of the Disney musical “Hunchback of Notre Dame.”
Based on the novel by Victor Hugo, “Hunchback” features a score by Alan Menken (“Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin”) and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (“Wicked,” “Pippin”). The Playhouse production will be directed by Trevail Maurice Smith with Mazhorell Johnson as music director and Kiara Jones as choreographer.
