Jekyll & Hyde
Barnfield Theatre
29th October - 2nd November 2019
This Halloween experience an immersive theatrical horror fest like nothing you have experienced before.
Based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic thriller, Jekyll & Hyde is the gripping tale of a brilliant mind gone horrifically awry, set to a powerful pop-rock score by Frank Wildhorn with book and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse.
In an attempt to cure his ailing father’s mental illness by separating “good” from “evil” in the human personality, talented physician Dr. Henry Jekyll inadvertently creates an alternate personality of pure evil, dubbed Edward Hyde, who wreaks murderous havoc on the city of London.
As his fiancée Emma grows increasingly fearful for her betrothed, a prostitute, Lucy, finds herself dangerously involved with both the doctor and his alter ego. Struggling to control Hyde before he takes over for good, Jekyll must race to find a cure for the demon he has created in his own mind.

Reviews
“Just been to see Jekyll and Hyde, it was well deserving of the standing ovation. The whole cast were excellent. The fantastic ensemble gave depth and atmosphere to the scenes and they had fabulous voices too. Really enjoyed the show well done everyone!”
- B Valentine
“I have been to see this twice, opening night and this afternoon and I thoroughly enjoyed both performances. Brilliant singing from the leading ladies, great enthusiasm from the ensemble and lovely posh poises from the board of governors. And lets not forget the fantastic lighting and sound crew and the orchestra.”

“Went to see Jekyll and Hyde, and am going again tonight because it was excellent! I would love to just give appreciation to directors David and Sarah for choreographing a fantastic ensemble in everything they do, and a big shout out to Jekyll/Hyde himself who tackled a very difficult role and smashed it. Well done Ben! Props and stage were accurate and also, very excellent. Very impressed with this performance and if I could go for a THIRD time I would! Well done everyone”

“We’ve just left the Barnfield theatre having seen Jekyll and Hyde. What a fantastic show!”

"Went to see the show last night. Cor what a show. We came away drained - such a powerful work and so unlike any other Musical. It would be unfair to single anyone out for special praise because all the cast were terrific - chorus and principals alike. The sets - the lighting - the special effects were amazing. The orchestra was exceptional handling this complicated score so well. A brilliant show and should not be missed with some seats still available with the show running until Saturday."
