SYNOPSIS
Murder and chaos are pitted against love and virtue in this sweeping gothic musical. The epic struggle between good and evil is based on the classic story by Robert Louis Stevenson and features a thrilling score of pop/rock influenced musical numbers from multi-Grammy- and Tony-nominated Frank Wildhorn and double-Oscar- and Grammy-winning Leslie Bricusse.
An evocative tale of two men – one, a doctor, passionate and romantic; the other, a terrifying madman – and two women – one, beautiful and trusting; the other, beautiful and trusting only herself. Both women are in love with the same man, and both are unaware of his dark secret. A devoted man of science, Dr. Henry Jekyll is driven to find a chemical breakthrough that can solve some of mankind's most challenging medical dilemmas. Rebuffed by the powers that be, he decides to make himself the subject of his own experimental treatments, accidentally unleashing his inner demons along with the man that the world would come to know as Mr. Hyde.
The musical made its Broadway debut on April 28, 1997, at the Plymouth Theatre. It ran for nearly four years, eventually closing on January 7, 2001, after 1,543 performances. A second national tour began in April 1999 and toured for a year. Later that year, a non-equity tour began, running from September 2000 to May 2001. Jekyll & Hyde is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
***Please note: As the Jekyll & Hyde musical is based on the well-known gothic tale, there will be murder, violence, gore, mild language, and sexual situations making it not intended for younger audiences.
