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.

The musical version of Jekyll & Hyde had its world premiere in 1990 at Houston's Alley Theatre. This was the first time the characters of Dr. Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde were combined with the music of Frank WIldhorn and lyrics of Leslie Bricusse. The production was such a success that the Alley Theatre extended its run not once, but twice. In 1995, a national tour of Jekyll & Hyde was mounted, which carried the show on to its New York opening.

Jekyll & Hyde began previews at Broadway's Plymouth Theatre on March 21, 1997. The show opened a month later on April 28th and ran for the next four years until it closed in January of 2001 after nearly 1,600 performances. The original company was led by Robert Cuccioli in the dual role of Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde and Linda Eder, making her Broadway debut, as Lucy.

A haunting musical based on a classic story, Jekyll & Hyde is a show like none other. And for the spring, WOB audiences will be transported to the streets of London past for the ultimate battle between good and evil.
