About the Show

An evocative tale of romance and the epic battle between good and evil, Jekyll & Hyde, a rousing gothic musical, brings new life to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story. A whirlwind odyssey pitting man against himself is set into motion when the brilliant Dr. Jekyll's medical experiment backfires, giving life to Edward Hyde, his evil alter ego.
