S.O.N.G. are delighted to bring the Broadway smash hit musical “Jekyll & Hyde” to Tain Theatre Dundalk.
On April 28, 1997, “Jekyll & Hyde” made its Broadway debut at the Plymouth Theatre. A resounding success, this production was nominated for 4 Tony Awards. “Jekyll & Hyde” has music by Frank Wildhorn, and book and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse. It was originally conceived for the stage by Steve Cuden and Frank Wildhorn. The musical is based on the novel, ‘The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde’ (1886), by Robert Louis Stevenson. The original album features Ireland’s Colm Wilkinson as Jekyll/Hyde. The music has a contemporary style similar to that of “Les Miserables” and has both a romantic and thrilling element throughout.
Featuring some of the most beautiful songs written in recent times, this musical adaptation of Dr. Jekyll’s well-known endeavor to play God comes to Dundalk for four performances only. The music has gained familiarity throughout the world with “This is the moment” used at numerous world-wide events.
Since forming in 2005, S.O.N.G. has received four A.I.M.S. Nominations including two for Best Modern Opera. They won “Live at the Web” an international festival held in Belfast in 2008 and has several individual award winning cast members.
