  • 1.  Jekyll & Hyde Origional Broadway Liscense

    Posted 06-20-2018 16:49
    Hi All,

    I'm looking into doing Jekyll & Hyde The Musical next year and I got the Libretto perusal from MTI.  They have several songs changed and the part of Lucy is very understated from the show I remember.  MTI said the original version is not available.  Does anyone know who does license it, or if it is even available?  Particularly "Who I Am" & "Good and Evil" vs. "Bring on the Men" disappoints me.  Thoughts?

    Thanks!

    i don't think anyone else holds the rights to the show except them. My suggestion may be to contact Frank Wildhorn directly (or through his "people,") He may allow you to make changes, since he is ultimately who holds the rights, right? Just a suggestion.

    Robin,

    I agree with Jared. Contacting the playwright is a great step. I love the show!

    A local theatre company got permission from Wildhorn to do exactly this. He’s apparently extremely easy to work with.
