The Hunchback Variations at Victory Gardens Biograph Theater
Launched in 2001, The Hunchback Variations has been one of Theater Oobleck’s most popular productions, perhaps based on its absurd subject matter: Quasimodo, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, and Ludwig Van Beethoven commiserating over their mutual deafness and working together to create a sound effect for Anton Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard. It’s a plot that’s nerdy at best, but now that Hunchback’s been made into an opera with the help of Mucca Pazza co-founder Mark Messing, the whole thing has the potential to become that much more ridiculous. Thankfully, though, Messing and playwright Mickle Maher have restrained themselves and, over 11 vignettes, find funniness in failure and laughter in libretto.
