"With so much to unpack, scenes and tunes that vividly stay in mind, 'Notre Dame de Paris' merits to claim an urgent and long-lasting place in the New York art scene."

"Imagine a sung-through musical that's made up almost entirely of power ballads, from the electric guitar underlining its slow-burn opening to its final, soaring glory note. That's the best way to describe the experience of watching Notre Dame de Paris..."

"From start to finish, there's a lot for the eyes and ears to latch onto and sort through. 'Notre Dame de Paris' is definitely a one-of-a-kind event, an 'it is what it is' experience that, while it will not appeal to all, certainly provides a no-holds-barred evening of extravagant romance and pageantry."

"For those of us who grew up on Charles Laughton’s indelible, middle-aged Quasimodo from the 1939 film, it’s a bit of a shock to learn—or rather relearn—that there is no final 'sanctuary' in the original text; nor do we get a happy ending in this by-the-book rendering."

"Notre Dame," on the other hand, is a series of very French pop songs that are the plot, storytelling not particularly effective due to their being sung in French, albeit with good translations flashed on several screens. There is very little non-sung dialogue. All the songs were brazenly amplified to rock concert level so that their ubiquitous crescendos and climaxes could be savored.
