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. Roles Available: Gabriel John Utterson: Serves as Jekyll’s lawyer and helpful friend.

Male, 25-60 yrs old Range: Bb2 – A4 Simon Stride: The secretary of the Board of Governors and Jekyll’s rival for Emma’s affections. Male, 25-40 yrs old Range: A2 – G4 Bishop Of Basingstoke: A hypocritical, sadistic man of the cloth and a member of the Board of Governors. Male, 30-60 yrs old Range: C#3 – G4 General Lord Glossop: A pompous retired army man and member of the Board of Governors. Male, 30-60 yrs old Range: G#3 – C4 Emma Carew: The daughter of Chairman Danvers and Jekyll’s beloved fiance who is refined and desired by all of the socialite men.
