Review of Candlelight Dinner Playhouse

The musical Jekyll & Hyde at the Candlelight Dinne...

The musical Jekyll & Hyde at the Candlelight Dinner Playhouse is absolutely Broadway-quality! I attended the Sunday matinee performance today and would see it again. Beginning with a great meal served by the Actors and staff, the time came for the performance to begin. And what a performance! The talent was amazing, and the voices, orchestra, directing, set design, lighting and sound were altogether flawless. The lead Actor, Scott Hurst, Jr, played the characters of Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde. His voice and vocal range blew me away, especially in the Confrontational scene. Depicting the tumultuous battle between good and evil and switching back and forth vocally between characters was simply phenomenal. I had seen Scott in the performance of The Hunchback of Notre Dame at Candlelight last year. His acting and vocal delivery then was incredible. Casting him in Jekyll & Hyde was brilliant. While special appreciation go out to Scott for sharing his gifts, the same goes for every one of the actors in this performance. I feel fortunate having top-rated theater productions and quality performers available in NOCO. Candlelight is a beautiful venue and definitely an asset to our community.
