The epic struggle between good and evil came to life on stage in the musical phenomenon, Jekyll & Hyde. Based on the classic story by
Robert Louis Stevenson and featuring a score of pop rock hits from multi-Grammy- and Tony-nominated
Frank Wildhorn and double-Oscar- and Grammy-winning
Leslie Bricusse, Jekyll & Hyde has played the world over.
Now we are celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the show opening on Broadway. The musical premiered on Broadway at the Plymouth Theatre on March 21, 1997 (previews) and officially opened on April 28. Directed by
Robin Phillips. The musical played an almost-four-year run and became the longest-running show in the history of the Plymouth Theatre, closing after 1,543 regular performances on January 7, 2001.
