Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Notre-Dame de Paris (Theatre) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The background of the story is a comment on France's ongoing migrant crisis- specifically, the way foreign refugees and migrants are pushed to the margins and denied care from the parts of French society that are meant to provide for them. Clopin's band of outcasts are neither Romani nor beggars in this version- they're explicitly undocumented immigrants. The soldiers under Phoebus's command are dressed in padded jackets that make them look like modern riot cops.

Adaptational Heroism
 Notre-Dame de Paris (Theatre) / int_3f45f1e6
comment
Adaptational Heroism: Gringoire isn't a villain in the book, but he's feckless and short-sighted, and chooses to save Esmeralda's pet goat Djali over Esmeralda herself when he can only fit either the girl or the goat in his escape boat (which pretty much seals her fate). In this musical, he befriends Esmeralda very quickly and affectionately after she saves him at the Court of Miracles, and despite his initial obliviousness to his other friend Frollo's designs on her, he comes to join Quasimodo in his rescue of her outcast friends and fights against Frollo and his corrupt forces in the end. Clopin goes from the vicious King of the Homeless he is in the book to the noble leader of a band of refugees who only want equal treatment and the care of the community.

Woman Scorned: Fleur-de-Lys is engaged to Phoebus, but he cheats on her with Esmeralda. In the song "La Monture", she says she will only take him back if he promises that they will kill Esmeralda.

World's Most Beautiful Woman: As the classic Notre Dame story goes. Exemplified best by the song "Belle", where the three male leads sing about their urgent sexual desire for Esmeralda.

BSoD Song: Quasimodo's "Danse mon Esméralda", right after Esmeralda's death. He's witnessed the death of the woman he loves and killed his adoptive father. He's resolved to die holding Esmeralda's dead body, because "dying for you is not dying". Yeah, he's pretty broken. Frollo finally goes insane, complete with Insane Laugh, in "Mon maître, mon sauveur (My Master My Saviour)".

Adaptational Attractiveness: Quasimodo's actors are given makeup that's meant to distort their features, but the success varies greatly by the production and actor's actual face.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Averted in the musical. While in the book Quasimodo drives Clopin's followers and Esmeralda's would-be rescuers away from Notre Dame due to misunderstanding, in the musical he rescues them from the prison and they fight together to defend Esmeralda in Notre Dame. The mob of outcasts technically survive, but they're arrested and permanently banned from the city, left to an uncertain fate.

Truck Driver's Gear Change: All over the place, most notably in "Les temps de cathedrales" and "Danse, mon Esmeralda", with the latter being especially notable due to it coming to a conclusive close after it's already shifted gears several times, and still going up one last time, to top out at a powerful high A-flat.

Soundtrack Dissonance: "Un matin tu dansais (One Bright Morning You Danced)". The instrumental starts out bright and cheerful, as Frollo and Esmeralda sing of the ones they love. Then he tries to blackmail her into having sex with him or face execution. Then he tries to rape her. All the while, the same bright, twinkly tune plays on.
