What is jekyll & hyde direct from broadway?

Jekyll & Hyde is a musical based on the 1886 novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It tells the story of Dr. Henry Jekyll, a brilliant scientist who creates a potion that transforms him into his dark alter ego, Mr. Hyde. As Jekyll becomes increasingly addicted to his alter ego and the thrill of indulging his darker impulses, he struggles to control his transformation and keep his loved ones safe.

The musical premiered on Broadway in 1997 and was the first show produced by the famed theatrical producer, David Skonecki. It featured music by Frank Wildhorn, lyrics by Leslie Bricusse, and a book by Wildhorn and Steve Cuden.

The original production starred Robert Cuccioli in the dual role of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with Linda Eder as his love interest, Lucy. The show was a commercial success, grossing over $13 million during its initial Broadway run and receiving four Tony Award nominations.

Jekyll & Hyde has since been revived multiple times on Broadway and around the world, with notable performances by David Hasselhoff and Constantine Maroulis in the title role. The show has also been adapted into a film and a television miniseries.
