Jekyll & Hyde Revival
Jekyll & Hyde - 2013 Broadway History , Info & More
Marquis Theatre (Broadway)
210 W. 46th St. New York, NY 10036
Conceived for the stage by Tony and Grammy Award nominee Frank Wildhorn and Steve Cuden, the four time Tony Award Nominated musical JEKYLL & HYDE features a book & lyrics by two-time Oscar winner, Emmy winner and four-time Tony Award Nominee Leslie Bricusse, music by Frank Wildhorn, and will be directed and choreographed by Tony Award Nominee Jeff Calhoun.
After four thrilling, chilling years on Broadway and multiple world-wide tours, this dark and dangerous love story will return in a new production that includes all the classic songs (This is the Moment, A New Life, Someone Like You) that first 'grabbed audiences by the throat' and transformed JEKYLL & HYDE into a theatrical phenomenon.
The musical is based on the acclaimed novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, about a London doctor who accidentally unleashes his evil alternate personality in his quest to cure his father's mental illness.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Jekyll & Hyde
Daddy Issues
3 / 10
No matter who's doing it or where it's being done, 'Jekyll & Hyde' is still tuneless and tiresome, a musical for those who prefer power ballads to show tunes but find 'The Phantom of the Opera' too challenging. Moreover, this production has the extra-special disadvantage of starring Constantine Maroulis, lately of 'American Idol' and 'Rock of Ages.' Mr. Maroulis has absolutely no business playing a romantic lead in a Broadway musical. His singing is whiny and insipid, while his acting recalls what Somerset Maugham is supposed to have said when he visited the set of the 1941 film version of 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' and saw Spencer Tracy thrashing through a scene: 'Which one is he now?' The rest of the cast is dull, and the production, staged by Jeff Calhoun, looks as though it had been built to travel (hence the absence of stage blood, which keeps laundry bills low).
STAGE REVIEW Jekyll & Hyde (2013)
6 / 10
...now receiving an overamplified, dry ice-drenched Broadway revival following a national tour: It's good and - well, not evil, but head-scratchingly, laughably, even painfully bad. And one that you'll be constantly struggling to sit through. As the titular schizophrenic scientist, American Idol alum Constantine Maroulis...supplies hair-band-worthy locks and lungs of steel. His 'This Is the Moment'...is indeed momentous - a triumph of vocal pyrotechnics over clichéd phrases, misaccented lyrics, and throat-testing key changes...Unfortunately for Wicks, R&B songstress Deborah Cox wins the belting match without breaking a sweat. In fact, Cox - as Lucy, the hooker with the heart of gold and bustier of steel - is quite terrific throughout.
