MEMBERS of the Gala Theatre Stage School are preparing to stage the gripping thriller Jekyll and Hyde - The Musical.

The production at Durham’s Gala Theatre follows the sell-out success of last year’s The Phantom Of The Opera.

Based on the classic story by Robert Louis Stevenson and featuring a score from multi-Grammy and Tony nominated Frank Wildhorn and double Oscar and Grammy-winning Leslie Bricusse, Jekyll & Hyde – The Musical has mesmerised audiences the world over.

The classic story follows a brilliant doctor whose experiments with human personality create a murderous counterpart.

The production runs from Saturday July 9 to Wednesday, July 13 with daily performances at 7:30pm and a 2:30pm matinee on Wednesday.

Tickets for the Saturday July 9 performance are £15. Regular tickets for other performances are £16.50 or £15 for concessions.

They can be purchased in person from the Box Office, online at galadurham.co.uk or by calling 03000 266 600.
