In 2008, Disney enclosed the Backlot Theater to create a multi-purpose venue for various attractions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Before the theater was enclosed and before it was used to store Osborne Lights, the theater was home to one of the most celebrated and loved stage shows on Walt Disney World property, the Hunchback of Notre Dame – A Musical Adventure. Based on the Disney animated film that was based on the classic Victor Hugo book, the stage show brough the film’s story to life daily inside the Studios and was a real treat to enjoy.

The attraction was one of the best stage shows to come to Walt Disney World and despite the film not being the box office success that the Little Mermaid or Beauty and The Beast were, the stage show of Hunchback was one of the best shows to appear at the Disney-MGM Studios in terms of sets, script and performances. The show began regular showings on June 21, 1996 in the Backlot Theater.
