Based on the Broadway musical thriller written by Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse, Jekyll & Hyde Resurrection is a live concert featuring the music and songs from the 2006 album starring Rob Evan, Kate Shindle and Brandi Burkhardt and produced by Frank Wildhorn and Jeremy Roberts. The album launched a full symphonic version that toured the US and South Korea. This musical retelling of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic takes a modern, dark and Rock influenced approach with the three stars and a full rock band delivering the highly charged and melodic score.
Jekyll & Hyde Resurrection will serve as a reunion of original Broadway cast members Rob Evan and Kate Shindle. Rob Evan played the title roles over 600 times on Broadway and more than 1000 total performances world-wide. He is currently a lead singer in the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and is featured on THE LOST CHRISTMAS EVE (Atlantic/Cert. Double Platinum) and NIGHT CASTLE (Atlantic/Cert.
