Jekyll & Hyde Tour starring Marti Pellow

Bill Kenwright is due to mount a tour of the musical Jekyll & Hyde with Wet, Wet, Wet lead singer Marti Pellow playing the lead role.  Pellow is no stranger to musical theatre having performed in Chicago, the Witches of Eastwick and Chess.

Jekyll & Hyde is a musical based on the novel The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. The original stage conception is by Steve Cuden and Frank Wildhorn. The music is by Wildhorn and the lyrics and book are by Leslie Bricusse

The production last toured the UK in 2004/5 with Paul Nicholas playing the dual role.  There are no dates yet, but this tour is due to start in 2011.

I love the music in this! Have seen Broadway production on video. Not convinced Marti Pellow has the voice to pull it off, having seen him in Chicago

Marti Pellow has been doing some recording and a concert tour this year so hopefully his voice is in better shape! First tour date I can find for Jekyll & Hyde is at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley from Thursday 20 January 2011 to Saturday 29 January 2011. Will publish more dates when I have them.

Tour dates are still very slow in coming through, but it is August when producers seem to grind to a halt in the West End! Will post them on Musical Theatre News as soon as I have a definitive list.

Looks like the full tour dates are on the Kenwright website now (plus some amazing artwork!) really looking forward to this tour!!

It certainly took a long time coming - but the artwork is good. Would just be good to have some casting news - understand they are still negotiating the offers!
