Jekyll & Hyde: Resurrection is a musical composed by Frank Wildhorn, with lyrics by Leslie Bricusse. The musical is a sequel to the original Jekyll & Hyde musical, which premiered in 1990. Jekyll & Hyde: Resurrection was composed in 2013 and premiered in Houston, Texas in 2016. The plot of Jekyll & Hyde: Resurrection picks up where the original musical left off. Dr. Henry Jekyll has died, but his alter ego, Edward Hyde, has survived. Hyde is now living in the body of Jekyll's former assistant, Poole. Hyde is haunted by the memories of Jekyll and struggles to come to terms with his own identity. The musical is divided into two acts. The first act focuses on Hyde's struggle to come to terms with his identity. He is haunted by the memories of Jekyll and is tormented by the idea that he is not a real person. He begins to have flashbacks to his past life as Jekyll and starts to question his own existence. The second act of the musical focuses on Hyde's attempts to resurrect Jekyll. He believes that by bringing Jekyll back to life, he will be able to find a way to merge his own identity with Jekyll's. However, his attempts to resurrect Jekyll are complicated by the interference of other characters, including Jekyll's former fiancée, Emma Carew, and a mysterious woman named Lucy. The music of Jekyll & Hyde: Resurrection is characterized by Wildhorn's signature blend of rock, pop, and classical music. The musical features several memorable songs, including "Alive Again," "The Way Back," and "The Resurrection." Overall, Jekyll & Hyde: Resurrection is a compelling and thought-provoking musical that explores themes of identity, memory, and the nature of the self. It is a worthy sequel to the original Jekyll & Hyde musical and showcases Wildhorn's talent as a composer and lyricist.
