County Players Presents Jekyll & Hyde
County Players closes out its 49th season with the musical thriller, Jekyll & Hyde, opening on Friday, May 11 at 8pm. An evocative tale of the epic battle between good and evil, Jekyll & Hyde is based on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story about a brilliant doctor whose experiments with human personality create a murderous counterpart. Convinced the cure for his father's mental illness lies in the separation of Man's evil nature from his good, Dr. Henry Jekyll unwittingly unleashes his own dark side, wreaking havoc in the streets of late 19th century London as the savage, maniacal Edward Hyde.
Jekyll & Hyde is pure pulsepounding theatre, with that same macabre combination of fun and fright that fuels such classics as Sweeney Todd and The Phantom of the Opera, and a lush, romantic pop score that includes the hit songs "This Is the Moment" and "Someone Like You." The show features a trio of leading characters - Dr. Henry Jekyll (Jim Nurre), his sympathetic fiancée Emma (Fay Gerbes) and Lucy (Maria Hickey), the woman he rescues from a life of sin who later succumbs to the uncontrolled passions of Mr. Edward Hyde (Jim Nurre).
Other leading roles are played by Sue Beberwyk, Paul Coleman, George Conrad, John DelVecchio, Gary Dodge, Lou Medina, Doug Propfe, Sylvia Propfe, Doug Woolley, and Jarek Zabczynski.
The ensemble includes Russell Beck, Arielle Breite, Dianne Carney, David Cartelli, Darius Clark, Bryan Falvey, Joni Falvey, Heather Ludwigson, Brian Lustig, Michelle Morrill, Janet Nurre, Catherine Olson, Angela Overbey, Matthew Patane, Matthew Perret, Bill Peckham, Nancy Scalzo, Jackie Schroeder, Bill Schwartz, Daniel Shelah, Tracey Toufali, Jillian Turner, and Gerard Weiss.
Frank Wildhorn wrote Jekyll & Hyde's music with book and lyrics are by Leslie Bricusse. The play is directed by Anna Marie Martino, with musical direction by Joel Flowers and choreography by Cory Ann Fasano.
