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.
