Bart wrote the words and music for Quasimodo, based on Victor Hugo's 1831 novel Notre Dame de Paris in 1963. The poignant tale, set in 15th-century Paris, of the love between the deformed bellringer and the beautiful gypsy girl Esmerelda nearly made it to Broadway, where it would undoubtedly have joined the list of Bart's stage hits: Lock Up Your Daughters, Fings Ain't Wot They Used t'Be, Oliver!, Blitz! and Maggie May. But there was disagreement about who should direct the show, and it was never produced in his lifetime.
