Jekyll and Hyde, directed by Sheryl Jensen, stars Dustin Hagen in the dual title roles and Jennifer Madill Hagen as Lucy. The couple, owners of the Madill Performing Arts Center in Duluth, last performed together as the Emcee and Sally Bowles in Lundeen Productions musical Cabaret. The Hagens' two sons, Cooper and Tanner, will be in the ensemble for Jekyll and Hyde. Jennifer Madill Hagen is also choreographing the show.
Reviewers have called Jekyll and Hyde ''an ingenious theatrical thriller'' and ''steamy, passionate, and intense.'' The Gothic style musical is based on the Robert Louis Stevenson 1886 novella of the same title telling the story of the misguided doctor who uses himself as a test subject as he tries to find the ways to eliminate evil from the nature of mankind.
With thrilling music and a cast of 20 talented area performers, the show promises to be one of the highlights of the summer entertainment scene. Jekyll and Hyde will include a live orchestra, under the direction of Ken Ahlberg, who is also the show's vocal director.
Performances of Jekyll and Hyde will be Thursday-Saturday July 11-13 and Wednesday-Saturday on July 17-20 and July 24-27. Lobby Opens at 6:00pm; Theater Doors Open 7:00pm; Performances at 7:30pm
