1995 First National Tour

Tour poster signed by cast

Due to a falling economy the Alley Theatre Premiere was unable to attract enough backers for it to mount a Broadway production, so five years later the creative team chose to take the show on the road doing a National Tour which would end at Broadway, and the show did just that, touring through 1995 and 1996 ending in 1997 with the transfer to Broadway.

Production Information

The Touring production, like the previous one, was directed by Gregory Boyd, and consisted of much of the same cast with the exception of Jekyll which was now played by Robert Cuccioli and his fiancée who was this time portrayed by Christiane Noll. The show was constantly evolving throughout the tour, each night they would write new lyrics and lines, remove songs, change song order, change characters' names, the most noteworthy being the changing of Jekyll's fiancée from Lisa to Emma. The tour began on April 8th, 1995 in Dallas, Texas and ended on April 7th, 1996 in Baltimore, Maryland.
