Based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella, Jekyll and Hyde is a musical thriller with a pop-rock score by Frank Wildhorn and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse, bringing to the stage a powerful struggle between good and evil. Having captivated audiences around the world, it is now coming to Ostrava!

Dr Henry Jekyll is a scientist, an idealist, and a romantic. He is determined to carry out an experiment that could separate good from evil within the human soul and stop darkness before it turns into action. When the authorities reject his research, he takes matters into his own hands and makes the most dangerous decision of all: he becomes his own test subject. But the experiment unleashes something that was meant to remain hidden. Enter Edward Hyde. Terrifying. Uncontrollable. Hungry. And then there are two women, each very different, yet both in love with the same man. Neither suspects the dark secret concealed behind his face. In the end, who will have the final word: Jekyll or Hyde?
