New Songs not in Animated Film

Stephen Schwartz described the new songs for the show in a message posted on his website:

The titles of the new songs, as the show appears in Berlin, are:
"Balancing Act" (a song for Clopin, Esmeralda and the Gypsies);
"Rest and Recreation" (introducing Phoebus);
"Top of the World" (a song for Esmeralda to Quasimodo, with the Gargoyles also giving Quasimodo contrapuntal advice);
"Esmeralda" (end of act one); "City Unde Siege" (opening of act two);
"Out of Love" (a song for Phoebus to Quasimodo, which becomes a duet between them as they search for Esmeralda);
and "Made of Stone" (a song Quasimodo sings to the Gargoyles).

On the songwriting page on this site you can read Stephen's comments about working with Alan Menken.
