Over 100 performers have come together to perform The Bells Of Notre Dame from Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame remotely. Take a look!

The vocal group, which includes a mixture of West End performers, (Les Miserables, Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, Mamma Mia, Book of Mormon, Bat out of Hell and more) performers from across the UK and new performing arts graduates, recorded their parts for The Bells Of Notre Dame from their homes to comply with COVID-19 safety guidelines. The individual recordings were then mixed together to create the final performance.

The project has been produced by Wicked actress Rebecca Gilliland, who founded the new production company, Bookend Productions, to give artists a chance to perform after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down theatres across the world.

'The Bells of Notre Dame' is the opening number from the 1996 Disney motion picture 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'. Composed by Alan Menken with lyrics written by Stephen Schwartz.
