The People: The Artists who have Contributed to Jekyll

Hundreds of people are involved in the process of producing any show. With many long years of development, J&H has a long, long list of talented individuals who had a part in making the show what it is today. There are naturally far too many people to talk about (or even list) here, but we will try to cover a few of the key players.

Leslie Bricusse

Linda Eder

  ...played the role of Lucy in the Houston world premiere, the first US tour, and then originated the role on Broadway. Her career started with a long stretch of wins on the Star Search program. She is now a recording artist with Atlantic, and has several solo albums available. She can also be heard on the concept albums for The Scarlet Pimpernel and The Civil War.

"Um, how do you pronounce....?"    Rhymes with 'shredder.'

Christiane Noll

  ...played the role of Lisa Carew (Jekyll's devoted fiancée) for the first national tour of the show, and then made her Broadway debut in the same role (renamed Emma Carew). She has many other theater credits, before and since, and can be heard on a number of recordings.

Rob Evan

  ...was first a "standby" (or "matinee guy") for the roles of Jekyll and Hyde, later playing the parts full time. He has also recorded a five-track album with selections from J&H, available only to his fan club members. To join his fan club, write to

Emily Skinner

  ...was part of the Original Broadway Cast of Jekyll. Credited as Emily Scott Skinner, she played the ensemble role of Alice and understudied both Lucy and Emma. During the previews for the show, Linda Eder fell ill with laryngitis. It was decided that she would go on, but Emily would sing her big songs from off-stage. Linda still performed "No One Knows Who I Am," "Sympathy, Tenderness" and the first portion of "Dangerous Game," with Emily singing others like "Good 'n' Evil," "Someone Like You," "In His Eyes" and "A New Life."

What's the best way to keep up with past performers from the show?

Fans who support Jekyll often follow the careers of the show "alumni" - past cast members from the Broadway or other productions of the show. At this time, there is no central location where the current and upcoming activities of the alumni are posted. Some places you could try checking are websites or fan clubs dedicated to specific performers, theater news sites, or web searches. Enjoy!

How do I get in touch with past performers from the show?

If you want to get in touch with a past performer, the first step is to check for a website or fan club devoted to that person. Some official (and even unofficial) sites have a direct contact e-mail address you can use, or a guestbook or message board where you can leave them a note.

To send "snail mail" to a performer, the most accepted and effective practice is to send your letter in care of a show in which they are appearing. It is best to find a current or upcoming show and send your letter so it will arrive while they are there, and will be for several more weeks (to allow for delivery time). Mail can be addressed in this manner:

Performer's Name
c/o Show Name
Theater Name
Theater Mailing Address
City, State Zip

Will any of the past Jekyll stars perform in the same roles again?
