As the leaves begin to fall and the seasons begin to change, Missoula’s most spine-chilling history starts to emerge. Step into the shadows and uncover Missoula’s haunted past. This chilling tour weaves together stories of forgotten cemeteries, abandoned buildings, and even tales of murder, bringing the darker side of the city’s history to life.

The walking tour begins in front of the fountain at First Interstate Bank, and lasts approximately 90 minutes. Since this is a Halloween tour, we recommend dressing warmly for the cool evening air. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, and while costumes are optional, they’re always encouraged to add to the spirit of the evening! This experience is recommended for ages 12 and up.

In partnership with Cranky Sam, each ticket includes a limited-edition Screams & Spirits sticker and a special coupon for a Cranky Sam brewing product.

Cash tips are always appreciated by our guides, but never expected.

MCT Community Series: The Hunchback of Notre Dame at Missoula Children's Theatre
2025-10-11 19:30 - 22:00 | Missoula Children’s Theatre, 200 N. Adams, Missoula, MT, 59802, United States
MCT Community Series: The Hunchback of Notre Dame at Missoula Children’s Theatre performances from Friday, October 10 thru Sunday, October19

From Victor Hugo’s 1830s gothic novel, black & white films of the 1930s and the animated Disney film of 1996 comes a tragic, yet hopeful story of Quasimodo. Banished to live as the bell ringer in the Notre Dame tower in Paris because of his physical deformities, he lives as an outcast. One day he ventures outside, declaring “If I picked a day to fly, this would be it!” but is ridiculed by everyone except the lovely Esmerelda, who pleads for mercy towards Quasimodo (“God Help the Outcasts”). The Academy Award-nominated score by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz, supported by the hauntingly rich voices of Missoula-area choirs, will bring this powerful story to life. Quasimodo’s struggle for acceptance and love may find him to be an unlikely hero. Disney is gifted at showing the darker side of humanity mixed with compassion and hope in this unforgettable musical.Music by ALAN MENKEN • Lyrics by STEPHEN SCHWARTZ • Book by PETER PARNELLBased on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney filmOriginally Developed by Disney Theatrical Productions

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.comRated PG-13 – Parental Guidance Recommended
