About the Show:

The epic struggle between good and evil comes to life on stage in the musical phenomenon, Jekyll & Hyde. While attempting to cure his father’s mental illness by separating “good” from “evil” in the human personality, physician Dr. Jekyll inadvertently creates an alternate personality of pure evil, dubbed Mr. Hyde, who embodies his darkest impulses and begins committing increasingly violent acts. As Jekyll loses control over the transformation, Hyde grows more dangerous, threatening the lives of those around him, including Jekyll’s fiancée Emma and the kind-hearted Lucy, who becomes entangled in Hyde’s world. Struggling to control Hyde before he takes over for good, Jekyll must race to find a cure for the demon he has created in his own mind.
