Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a about the complexities of science and the duplicity of human nature. Dr Jekyll is a well-respected and intelligent scientist who meddles with the darker side of science.

One of the most satisfying aspects of the overall approach taken here is not just that everyone in the cast can sing ...

Stevenson makes Hyde more mysterious by only hinting at his physical appearance - he is smaller than Jekyll and whenever people see him, they are deeply affected by his looks and spirit.
