There’s a fine line between genius and idiocy, and, in his determined effort to “save literature”, Garry Starr doesn’t so much walk it as perform the can-can on it wearing black tails, orange flippers and nothing else.

What did our critic think of JEKYLL & HYDE at Kokandy Productions?

I wanted to run down the shows that BROADWAY WORLD HOUSTON readers should consider as a trick and a treat! Just think of us as your roadmap on the “highway to fell” that “doesn’t fear the reaper” and “we’re going off the rails on a crazy train.” These shows rock, and they certainly are up for consideration during the spooky season.

Kokandy Productions has released photos of its new production of Jekyll & Hyde — the first Chicago staging of the gothic musical in more than 15 years.

During my time of writing reviews for The Royal Theatre in Benton, I have seen so many wonderful productions, but.... JEKYLL & HYDE: THE MUSCIAL may be my favorite! From the first time I heard Frank Wildhorn’s sweeping score, this show has held a special place in my heart, and seeing it brought to life at The Royal Theatre in Benton made that love burn even brighter.
