The new cast of NddP was announced few days ago. I was pretty excited, but actually, eh, I didn't really know these guys (except Daniel Lavoie obvs) and shame on me tbh.
So here's a recap of who is who, who is from where, who has already perform for this show, etc.
(I'm gonna do it in French too. And the link will be there.)
Everyone's free to add info ! (I may edit to keep it easy to read & stuff)
Richard Charest – Gringoire
Born on October, 14th 1970 (45yo) in Québec.
He played Phoebus many times between 1999-2005 (in France, Canada and Liban).
He then played Gringoire in Asia and France, and lately (2012-2015) during the international tour passing in Russia, Japan, Korea.
So, he's pretty familiar with the play.
He's in music business since he's 16
He has write/cowrite few theatral stuff which one about Rimbaud, I don't really know what it is.
Here's him singing Le Temps des cathédrales on the showcase (2016) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpNlA2Kp430&feature=youtu.be

Frollo est amoureux d'Esmeralda et de Gringoire. Si les choses se passent bien avec le poète, cela va se compliquer quand Esmeralda et Gringoire vont se marier.
J’ai découvert le Frongoire il y a peu, ce qui a donné naissance à cet OS. Je sais pas trop ce qu’il y a comme français dans ce tag, mais voilà, je partage ~
EDIT : Petite mention spéciale à @wonchesteeeer qui a beaucoup aidé à la cohérence du truc.
