Robert Louis Stevenson's novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde has long enthralled readers. The exploration of man's internal struggle to suppress his base animal instincts in favor of society's expected propriety in addition to the examination of good and evil simply fascinates audiences. Similarly, JEKYLL & HYDE, a musical adaptation of the novel by Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse, has been appealing to audiences since its 1990 Houston World Premiere. Currently, Fort Bend Theatre is producing the musical with dazzling pizzazz despite their shoestring budget and the limitations of community theatre.

The McCallum Theatre deserves tremendous praise for presenting such a diverse slate of theatrical offerings to the desert community season after season - and this season is no exception. FRIDA THE MUSICAL was one of those pleasant and delightful "surprises" that is such a joy to see in a modern theatrical landscape that is often more predictable than not. The FRIDA creative team --- Marcos Lifshitz, Octavio Salazar-Villava and Klaudia Casillas - have delivered a highly artistic and visually appealing production built on the foundation of a rather lush and lovely score. Where it missed the mark, for me, was in the actual structure of the piece and not utilizing the "music" in the musical to its emotional potential. In fact, I might even debate whether it was truly a "musical" at all.
