It's an evocative tale of two men - one a doctor, passionate and romantic - the other, a terrifying madman; and two women - one, beautiful and trusting - the other, beautiful and trusting only herself. Both women in love with the same man. Both unaware of his dark secret. Their story unfolds in this gripping musical thriller resplendent with a sumptuous score including the unforgettable, "This Is the Moment," "Someone Like You," and "A New Life."

The New York Daily News proclaims Jekyll & Hyde is "Lush and appealing...genuinely moving," and The Newark Star ledger states this show is "Powerfully charismatic... mesmerizing... composer Frank Wildhorn unleashes torrents of surging melody."
