'Jekyll & Hyde' review: Schlock opera
5 / 10
The revival has been restaged and rechoreographed with imaginative low-budget economy by Jeff Calhoun, who also did both the hit 'Newsies' and 'Bonnie & Clyde,' Wildhorn's most mature (but still short-lived) show. Tobin Ost's functionally minimal sets -- mostly five hanging panels -- have a cutdown theatricality that must be useful on the road. His costumes for the fancy maids reveal at least as much cleavage as Jekyll/Hyde sees at his late-night visits to the brothel.
