Show Synopsis:
In the musical adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the scientist Dr. Jekyll is interesting in experimenting with the concept of different men conflicting in the same physical body. He injects himself with a formula that changes him from a human man to the superhuman homicidal monster, Mr. Hyde. Jekyll cannot remember what he does as Mr. Hyde, which causes questions and sticky situations as he tries to balance his own engagement to Emma Carew and becomes attracted to the famous prostitute Lucy Harris as Hyde. When Lucy turns to Jekyll for help, she begins to fall in love with him, not knowing that he is also Hyde. The transformations begin to occur of their accord, and Jekyll's friends find that they are unable to help him with whatever his trouble is. Hyde kills Lucy and seems to regain control for awhile, until the day he is to wed Lucy. He transforms into Hyde in the middle of the ceremony and gains enough control to kill himself without hurting Emma.

Character:
Lucy Harris, a successful prostitute at the "Red Rat;" she is cautious but feisty and spontaneous with men.

Fun Facts:
1. Linda Eder made her Broadway debut in the role of Lucy, which was written for her after Frank Wildhorn saw her compete and win on Star Search. 
2. In the 2012-2013 American tour and Broadway engagement of the show, Deborah Cox played Lucy. In an interview with Playbill, she described the character as "as a survivor. She?s a very complex woman who?s in a bad situation, but she knows that she?s bigger and better than the situation she?s in. So she strives to find something better. She falls in love with Henry Jekyll quickly because she?s never been respected by a man before. She?s in this abusive place, but she doesn?t let that beat her down. Her spirits are always alive and always motivated. She?s motivated, I think, by being in this bad situation, and when she meets Henry Jekyll, she?s motivated to find love and find a better situation for herself."
3.  Wildhorn saw Jekyll & Hyde as a pioneer in musical theatre scores in its combination of rock and traditional musical theatre influences.
