The French musical Notre Dame de Paris, based on the Victor Hugo novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame, is set to run at the London Coliseum early next year.

Performed in French with English surtitles, the musical tells the story of Quasimodo, a bell-ringer at a cathedral who falls in love with a beautiful dancer called Esmerelda. The production has musical by Richard Cocciante, and lyrics by Luc Plamondon.

Notre Dame de Paris returns to London for seven performances at the London Coliseum from 23rd to 27th January 2019. Click here to access exclusive pre-sale tickets.

The original French production is directed by Gilles Maheu, with choreography by Martino Muller. It will be performed with a cast of dancers and acrobats, as well as a live orchestra.

The musical premiered in Paris in September 1998, and features the third-biggest-selling single in French history: "Belle". The musical received a full-production at the Dominion Theatre in 2000, which LondonTheatre.co.uk described at the time as having a 'superb' score.

Since debuting in France, the show has been performed in nine different languages in 23 countries across the world over the past 20 years.

Notre Dame de Paris is at the London Coliseum from 23rd to 27th January 2019.
