‘Jekyll and Hyde’ musical at arts center

The Island Now

On Thursday, Aug. 6 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, Aug. 8 at 2 p.m., the musical “Jekyll and Hyde” will be performed at the Gold Coast Art Center at 113 Middle Neck Road. 

This free production is directed by Alex Schecter, a graduate of Great Neck South High School and a sophomore at Vanderbilt University studying music. 

The cast and crew include high school and college students, including alumni from high schools across Nassau County.  

“Jekyll and Hyde” is a Levels “Next Stage” Production, co-produced by Levels, the Great Neck Library’s teen center, as an opportunity for its advanced students to run a production on their own.

Based on the 19th century novel, “Jekyll and Hyde” tells the story of Dr. Henry Jekyll who, as the result of a medical experiment, transforms himself into the maniacal Mr. Edward Hyde. 

Featuring well known songs such as “This is the Moment” and “Façade,” this musical is full of big ensemble dance numbers, powerful solo pieces, and heart-throbbing ballads. 

To reserve tickets, or for more information, call (516) 673-8578.
