Can you separate the good from the evil in people? The ambitious doctor Henry Jekyll has set himself the task of doing just that. He is not allowed to research this on patients, so he simply carries out the experiment on himself. It works: Dr. Jekyll creates his evil alter ego Edward Hyde - but he increasingly loses control over him. Frank Wildhorn transforms the dramatic horror story of a split personality in a relentless battle with himself, based on the novella by Robert Louis Stevenson, into a gripping musical that, with Alexander Klaws in the lead role, shakes up the stage of the Darmstadt State Theater and all moral platitudes.

Jekyll & Hyde

After 15 years, the barber Benjamin Barker returns to his old home in London. He believes his wife to be dead, and his daughter is now in the care of his arch-enemy Judge Turpin, who was responsible for Barker's decades-long banishment. Under the name Sweeney Todd, the barber embarks on a brutal campaign of revenge by slitting the throats of all his customers with a razor blade. He is assisted by the baker Mrs. Lovett, who processes the human remains into a new meat pie ingredient, which soon helps her business to boom. But the bloodlust that Todd becomes more and more addicted to has fatal consequences...
