"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 Stevensons novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Steve Cuden and Frank Wildhorns musical adaptation, Jekyll & Hyde, is the tale of Dr. Henry Jekylls journey through a series of scientific experiments that he hopes might alter mankinds notions of good and evil. He has no idea they will transform his soul as well. Among the music featured in the show is This is the Moment and In His Eyes by Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse.
