BENTON TOWNSHIP — This weekend the epic struggle between good and evil comes to life on stage in this all-new production of the musical phenomenon, “Jekyll & Hyde.”

For the first time, this just announced, special engagement comes to the Lake Michigan College Mendel Center Mainstage for one performance only at 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 15.

Based on the classic story by Robert Louis Stevenson and featuring a thrilling score of pop/rock hits from multi Grammy and Tony nominated Frank Wildhorn and double Oscar and Grammy winning Leslie Bricusse, “Jekyll & Hyde” has mesmerized audiences the world over.

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 are in love with the same man. Both are 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.”

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 more than 500 regional productions in the United States and Canada. More than 100 international productions also have been seen in such countries as Germany, Austria, Spain, Hungary, Japan, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Australia. There have been 32 international recordings of “Jekyll & Hyde” in 28 different languages.
