"The music tells the story in Jekyll & Hyde - The Concert. The powerful and romantic pop score is brought to life by the talents of three of the stage's brightest stars, a pulse-pounding orchestra and six-piece rhythm section. The concert version of Jekyll & Hyde has been adapted by composer Wildhorn and lyricist/bookwriter Leslie Bricusse and includes material from throughout the twenty-year development of the show. It is directed by Gregory Boyd. This is more than a concert, it is an event," state production notes. Jekyll & Hyde - The Concert was first seen in tryout productions at the Lenape Regional Performing Arts Center in Marlton, NJ, and then the Mohegan Sun Casino  in Uncasville, CT.

Evan (Les Miserables, Dance of the Vampires, Little Shop of Horrors) will take on the title roles of the dignified, humane doctor and the base, murderous monster who resides within him. Burkhardt, a former Miss New York, has been cast as his pure-hearted fiancee Emma and Kate Shindle (Cabaret, Jekyll & Hyde on Broadway, a former Miss America) will play the seductive and ill-fated Lucy. The tour will kick off on September 10th at the Alys Stephens Center in Birmingham, AL. The rest of the tour itinerary is as follows:
