AS HAUNTING AND UNFORGETTABLE AS EVER,
JEKYLL & HYDE IS BACK!
The Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse Musical Begins its FIFTH National
Tour with Harris Center as a Performance Destination
(December 16, 2014) The epic struggle between good and evil comes to life on the Harris
Center for the Arts stage in this all new production of the musical phenomenon, Jekyll & Hyde.
The Daily News proclaims the performance is “Lush, appealing and genuinely moving.”
Glamorous, sexy and deliciously wicked, Jekyll & Hyde is the enthralling musical based on
Robert Louis Stevenson classic story about a brilliant but obsessive scientist whose alter ego
wreaks havoc across Victorian London. Featuring a thrilling score of pop rock hits from multi
Grammy and Tony nominated Frank Wildhorn & double Oscar and Grammy winning Leslie
Bricusse, Jekyll & Hyde has mesmerized audiences the world over.
The award-winning musical Jekyll & Hyde plays Monday, January 19, 2015 at 7:30 pm,
Tuesday, January 20, 2015 at 2 and 7:30 pm, and Wednesday, January 21, 2015 at 7:30 pm.
Tickets are priced at $45-$65; Premium $79. Tickets are available online
at www.harriscenter.net or from the Harris Center Ticket Office at 916-608-6888 from 10 am to
6 pm Monday through Saturday, and two hours before show time. Parking is included in the
price of the ticket. Harris Center is located on the west side of Folsom Lake College campus in
Folsom, CA, facing East Bidwell Street.
It’s an evocative tale of two men – one a doctor, passionate and romantic – the other, a
terrifying madman; and two women - one, beautiful and trusting – the other, beautiful and
trusting only herself. Both women in love with the same man. Both unaware of his dark secret.
Their story unfolds in this gripping musical thriller resplendent with a sumptuous score
including the unforgettable, “This Is the Moment,” “Someone Like You,” and “A New Life.”
The New York Daily News proclaims Jekyll & Hyde is “Lush and appealing...genuinely
moving," and The Newark Star ledger states this show is “Powerfully charismatic…
mesmerizing… composer Frank Wildhorn unleashes torrents of surging melody."
With a Grammy nominated score, the 1997 Tony-nominated Broadway production of Jekyll &
Hyde is the longest running show in the history of the Plymouth Theater. The show has seen
four major tours and over 500 regional productions in the United States and Canada. More

Austria, Spain, Hungary, Japan, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, the United
Kingdom, Japan, and Australia. There have been 32 international recordings of Jekyll & Hyde
