“Jekyll & Hyde” The Musical, presented by the ULM School of Visual and Performing
Arts, is the epic struggle between good and evil featuring a thrilling score of pop-rock
hits from multi-Grammy- and Tony-nominated Frank Wildhorn and double-Oscar- and Grammy-winning
Leslie Bricusse.
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 and both unaware
of his dark secret.
The all-ULM student cast is double cast, as Jarryd Gutierrez and Davonzell Moncrief
sing the title role(s), and Jekyll’s love interest Emma is performed by Leah Huber
and Rachal Bouriaque.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town – Hyde is interested in Lucy, acted and sung
by Morgan Meyer and Morgan Rowland. Hope Wells is Nellie, and Preston Anderson is
Jekyll’s friend Utterson. Sir Danvers, Emma’s father, is performed by Ryan Kersh.
