Synopsis:

A true musical theater phenomenon, "Jekyll & Hyde" attracted legions of
loyal fans even before the show began its smash-hit Broadway run.

An evocative tale of the epic battle between good and evil, "Jekyll & Hyde"
is based on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story about a brilliant doctor
whose experiments with human personality create a murderous counterpart.
Convinced the cure for his father's mental illness lies in the separation
of Man's evil nature from his good, Dr. Henry Jekyll unwittingly unleashes
his own dark side, wreaking havoc in the streets of late 19th century
London as the savage, maniacal Edward Hyde.

A musical that is primarily sung and showcases some powerhouse singing
moments.  A thriller of a time.

advises the troubled doctor on personal and professional affairs.
