Party on Stage with Fiddlehead's "Jekyll & Hyde" Benefit

Fiddlehead Theatre Company, the resident theatre company of Boston's historic Strand Theatre, will present a special benefit performance on Friday, March 20 entitled "This is the Moment: Jekyll and Hyde in Concert."

This elegant evening will celebrate Fiddlehead's residency at the Strand while benefiting the theater company's ongoing education programs and community events. The evening's program will feature a pre-performance masked cocktail party on the Strand stage (masks provided), followed by a concert performance of the Gothic musical "Jekyll and Hyde." The performance will feature a full cast and a live, 30-piece orchestra. Tickets are available for both the party and performance, or guests may attend just the live performance.

Featuring the standout tune "This is the Moment," the musical phenomenon "Jekyll & Hyde" brings the epic struggle between good and evil to life on stage. Based on the classic story by Robert Louis Stevenson and featuring a thrilling score of pop rock hits from multi-Grammy and Tony-nominated Frank Wildhorn & double Oscar and Grammy-winning Leslie Bricusse, "Jekyll & Hyde" has mesmerized audiences the world over.

A devoted man of science, Dr. Henry Jekyll makes himself the subject of his own experimental treatments, accidentally unleashing his inner demons along with the man the world would come to know as Mr. Hyde. It is an evocative tale of two men - one a doctor, passionate and romantic - the other, a terrifying madman. Book and lyrics are by Leslie Bricusse, music by Frank Wildhorn. It is co-directed by Meg Fofonoff & Stacey Stephens.

The cost of the cocktail party and show is $100 per ticket, and the concert performance of "Jekyll and Hyde" is only $50 per ticket.

The Fiddlehead's next musical is "Jesus Christ Superstar," April 24 through May 3.

"This is the Moment: Jekyll and Hyde in Concert" takes place Friday, March 20 at The Strand Theatre (543 Columbia Road, Dorchester, MA). To purchase tickets or to inquire about sponsorship opportunities visit www.fiddleheadtheatre.com or call the box office at 617-229-6494.
