Jekyll’s argument with himself/Hyde is of particular interest. Here Jekyll attempts to regain control of himself and eliminate Hyde. Hyde, however, knows he cannot be eliminated. He is evil, and once unleashed, there is nothing Jekyll can do about it, ironi cally contradicting Jekyll’s experi mental thesis. The musical has fascinating visuals throughout. While the set pieces aren’t too extravagant (aside from Jekyll’s lab, which is revealed with particular flourish near the end of the first act), the production pre ferred using lighting to create some truly impressive images. Some of the most striking of these images come during Hyde’s murder spree at the beginning of the second act.
