Oct 22, 2008 - For God's sake, the Musical is French. Why debate about how good it's counterparts are? At the end of the day, it's a French musical and all else is second hand. Pouting and flexing sphincters will not pay the necessary homage to this wonderful Musical. Stop trying, it's sad .

Oct 29, 2008 - She looks how Esmeralda should, but I love every single Esmeralda there's ever been, promise! This Frollo is fantastic! And he looks like Alfred Molina (Doc Oc, or the mayor from Chocolat!)

I listened also french version, i liked to listen french words and sounds, but i prefer italian actors. More passionate, like they are really living the tragedy... The actor of Quasimodo really dies in his character, everytime.Surely this is a personal opinion ;o)This musical was the meeting of an italian musician and french writer. This is art, and is what matters most.

Nov 1, 2008 - I think Svetikova in russian version is much more better, because here Esmeralda looks too old. But she is so beautiful!

Selenaaaaa Says:

Nov 1, 2008 - I think this Esmeralda is the best one ! I agree with Broadwaymelody33 : she looks how Esmeralda should !

Nov 4, 2008 - the italian version is superb. riccardo cocciante is a genius!

darkhyena Says:

Nov 4, 2008 - Oh no, I agree entirely. The original Quasimodo, though a FANTASTIC singer, did not seem to capture the same feeling of hopelessness of this version. He really does look like he's in emotional pain.

AngeloLondra Says:

Nov 7, 2008 - I personally prefer Patrick Fiori's voice much more powerful and precise...

SEMPLICEMENTEDANZA Says:

Nov 8, 2008 - Nel nostro piccolo, ci abbiamo provato anche noi!

mrak4e Says:

Nov 8, 2008 - I think French version is the BEST! Garou is FANTASTIC!!!!!

bata1982 Says:

Nov 10, 2008 - the italian one is at least 200 times better then the french one!

mrak4e Says:

Nov 10, 2008 - Well, that is YOUR oppinion! I don't tell you what to think and feel ;) and don't want to argue but I definitely prefer the FRENCH one :)

Nov 12, 2008 - Non mi stanco mai di sentirla.. La frase: "Bella, è il demonio che si è incarnato in lei, per strapparmi gli occhi via da Dio.." è superlativa.. E poi mi ricorda il mio primo saggio di danza. Fantastica!

Nov 15, 2008 - Come sei bella, Esmeralda

mattles1579 Says:

Nov 17, 2008 - all of the original actors were, also personally speaking

revres28 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Patrick Fiori sing higher than Galatone, you can easily understand it watching at "Cuore in me"/"Dechire". My "dream team" is the french basso, the russian baritono, the french tenor, and the italian Gringoire

Nov 20, 2008 - everyone is entitled to an opinion. music and these type of things are subjective, so lets not turn this into something stupid and just enjoy it, because it is a beautiful piece of work no matter in what language. (and no one say something stupid like: "it won't in Chinese, or Somalian"). I happen to like the french over the russian just by a bit, and the russian over the italian by a little bit too. they all have a slightly different feel to it because of the language.

Kuwaiti8 Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - this is nothing....just watch the french version (the original version is in french) and you will cry....... the french version is at least 20000 times better than the italian!!

xyzizzle Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - Italian is a beautiful langauge. It sort of just rolls off of your tongue. But I love the French version, probably because it is the original words and everything :)

megadirettorre Says:

Nov 26, 2008 - Original version is in french and seems better...anyway italians do it better...always

zikogunner19 Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - the italian quasimodo is really scarrying..lol...anyway, the french version is much more better!!!

PassionDuChrist Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - I have a crush on the French Frollo, but the Italian lyrics are also so beautiful... C'è in me il dolore di un amore che fa male E non mi importa se divento un criminale Lei che passa come la bellezza più profana, Lei porta il peso di un atroce croce umana
