The Fine Arts Association at 38660 Mentor Avenue, Willoughby, Ohio announces auditions for Jekyll & Hyde Book & Lyrics by Frank Wildhorn Music by Leslie Bricusse Director: David Malinowski Musical Director: Alex Ulle Choreographer: Jen Boehmer 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 in love with the same man and both 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.
