A local cast takes on a choral musical

Naidu Theatre Company's The Hunchback of Notre Dame played at Coffs Harbour Regional Conservatorium in January 2025. Coffs Harbour-born performer Lincoln Elliott returned to play Quasimodo, with Jade Naidu appearing as Esmeralda and a children's chorus joining the company.

The stage musical draws on Victor Hugo's novel and the songs from Disney's animated film, with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. Its story moves between the isolation of the cathedral bell tower and the life of the streets below, exploring prejudice, belonging and the choices made around an outsider.

Lighting supplied for the cathedral setting

Krank'd supplied lighting for the production, supporting a stage world defined by the contrast between shadow and the larger cathedral scenes. The ensemble and choral passages expanded that world beyond the central characters.

Our work with Naidu continued into the following year, when we supplied fixtures for Threads, Jade Naidu's original eco musical at the same conservatorium. Together, the projects span an established musical and a new regional work, with lighting hire supporting the company's different creative teams and stage settings.
