Jekyll&Hyde

Last Saturday my friends and I, we went to the Musical Theatre in Poznan to see musical "Jekyll and Hyde". I'm in love ! Before I saw the American version of this musical with David Hasselhoff ( to be honest, I think that he can do something more than walking in orange lifeguard swimming trunks). I was scared a little before going to watch polish version, but I'm happy that I saw this. This musical was made by Roma Theatre where the actors are really talented, e.g. M. Janusz Kruciński, who played the main role, is genius. The role of Jekyll/Hyde is one of the most difficult roles for actor, because he has to change his voice, talk to himself, etc.

I suppose that all of you know the history of this schizophrenic hero form book written by Robert Louis Stevenson. This is the history of the battle between two natures, good and bad, which is in all of us. Dr. Jekyll is a highly respected London physician who discovers the secret potion that allows to change the character. Under the cover of night, Dr. Jekyll turns into Mr. Hyde, who becomes the embodiment of evil. Dr. Jekyll, unable to come to terms with a double personality, commits suicide.

The plot of the musical is a little different. Here is also a love plot. Dr. Jekyll has a fiancée (Emma) who is a daughter of one of the most important people in London. While, Mr. Hyde is crazy about a beautiful prostitute (Lucy), who is in love in Dr. Jekyll. When Dr. Jekyll wrote a letter to Lucy asked her to leave London, because she is in danger, Mr. Hyde killed her.

I didn't find the Polish version, but here you can see the best scene from American version. This is a confrotation between Jekyll and Hyde :
