Rock concert meets silent film in
Vox Lumiere’s Hunchback of Notre
Dame at Lewis Family Playhouse
An all-star cast of singers, dancers and musicians
join forces with new music, light show and film to
retell a timeless movie masterpiece in Vox Lumiere’s
Hunchback of Notre Dame. The radical new brand
of theatrical performance appears on stage at
Rancho Cucamonga’s Lewis Family Playhouse on
Saturday, January 17 at 8pm, with tickets priced at
$32 for General Admission, $30 for Seniors, and
$26 for Youth.
Eight singers and a five-piece rock band perform
an eclectic array of original music while the classic
film rolls above them. The images of the film and the
sounds of the musicians combine to deliver a wave
of energy to the audience as performers use dance
and song to give the silent film a new breath of life.
The Lewis Family Playhouse is located at the
Victoria Gardens Cultural Center at 12505 Cultural
Center Drive, off the I-15 at Foothill Boulevard. The
