"In each of us there are two natures. If this primitive duality of man: good and evil, could be housed in separate identities, life would be relieved of all that is unbearable. It is the curse of mankind that these polar twins should be constantly struggling." A dark tale of murder, obsession, and romance; this musical is completely student organized with a 28-member acting ensemble and 20-piece orchestra. Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Steve Cuden and Frank Wildhorn's musical adaptation, Jekyll & Hyde, is the tale of Dr. Henry Jekyll's journey through a series of scientific experiments that he hopes might alter mankind's notions of good and evil. He has no idea they will transform his soul as well.
