Remember Jones Takes on Jekyll and Hyde
Axelrod PAC Cult Musical Production Runs Nov 4 To 19
Soulful crooner Remember Jones will take on the lead role in Axelrod Performing Arts Center [APAC] Jekyll and Hyde, opening Nov 4.
“I’m very excited to return to the theater world in a role that will challenge me physically, emotionally, and creatively,” the Asbury Park native said. “The folks at the Axelrod continue to make brave choices with their productions and have trusted me to take this notorious role in a fresh, new direction.”
Recorded 32 times in 28 languages, Jekyll and Hyde pop-inflected score was done by Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse. The Axelrod production is directed and choreographed by Paul Stancato, who directed the last national show tour.
Jones is joined by Rebecca Krainik in the role of Lucy Harris; Adrianna Milbrath as Emma Carew; Jonmichael Tarleton as Gabriel John Utterson; Austin Ryan as Simon Stride; Rutledge Varley as Sir Danvers Carew; Jeff O’Neil as the Bishop of Basingstoke, and ten others, theater organizers said in a written statement.
The APAC production set is based on Stephen Dobay’s original design, adapted by Fred Sorrentino, with lighting by Keith Truax and Patrick Hayes; technical direction by Gerry Gironda; stage management by Michael Fernandez and Dennis Tolentino; costumes by Fred Mayo and Scaramouche Costumes; wigs by Kurt Alger; and properties by Susan Bloir.
