Based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame showcases

the film’s Academy Award-nominated score, as well as new songs by Menken and Schwartz. Peter Parnell’s new book embraces story theatre and features verbatim passages from Hugo’s gothic novel. The musical begins as the bells of Notre Dame sound through the famed cathedral in fifteenth-century Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer who longs to be “Out There,” observes all of Paris reveling in the Feast of Fools. Held captive by his devious caretaker, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, he escapes for the day and joins the boisterous crowd, only to be treated cruelly by all but the beautiful gypsy, Esmeralda. Quasimodo isn’t the only one captivated by her free spirit, though – the handsome Captain Phoebus and Frollo are equally enthralled. As the three vie for her attention, Frollo embarks on a mission to destroy the gypsies – and it’s up to Quasimodo to save them all. A sweeping score and powerful story make The Hunchback of Notre Dame an instant classic. Audiences will be swept away by the magic of this truly unforgettable musical.The Hunchback of Notre Dame is coming to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on July 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, 28, 2018 at 7:30pm and July 22 & 29, 2018 at 2:00pm.

Rock.It.Boy Entertainment presents

PURE PETTYTom Petty once said, “Music is the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There’s not some trick involved with it. It’s pure and it’s real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things”. His songs have enduring resonance with fans, uncompromised by fads and fashion, with simple words and honest expression. PURE PETTY presents to you “all the incredible things” that Tom was talking about. With restraint, passion and great attention to detail, the music of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will be recreated in front of your eyes and ears, including “Breakdown”, “American Girl”, “Refugee”, “I Won’t Back Down” and “Free Fallin’” to name just a few. PURE PETTY is an authentic, exciting tribute to the late, great Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers with Art Van Volsen on drums and percussion, John Mang on keyboards, guitar and vocals, the Award-Winning Lance LaPointe on bass guitar and vocals, Richard Spencer on guitars and vocals and last, but certainly not least, Dave Danylchuk in the role of Tom Petty.
